How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Introducing the Kawai K-600 Upright Piano

At 132cm tall, the K-600 occupies the largest frame size in the K Series and is among the largest upright pianos available today. Building on the impressive specification of its smaller counterparts, the K-600 features agraffes and duplex scaling for enhanced tonal clarity, while its reinforced sound structure—with six backposts and 12 ribs—delivers exceptional stability and resonance.

The K-600 is also fitted with NEOTEX key surfaces, as featured on Kawai’s GX Series grands, providing a natural, tactile feel with excellent grip and control. Its elegant cabinetry complements its impressive scale, making it an ideal choice for both the home and performance environment.

Like the smaller K Series models, the K-600 incorporates Kawai’s acclaimed Millennium III ABS-Carbon Composite action, delivering outstanding responsiveness, precision and control for a highly expressive playing experience.

With its substantial scale, powerful tonal presence and sophisticated specification, the K-600 is well worth comparing against the Yamaha U3. It is particularly well suited to the professional or discerning pianist who requires the depth, projection and performance capability of a large instrument, but does not quite have the space for a small grand piano.

Premium quality components

The soundboard and ribs are considered the most important sound producing components of a piano, with both the materials used and the manner in which they are assembled greatly affecting volume and tonal quality. The K-600 has 12 ribs, more than any other model in the range, while its soundboard is produced using the finest quality straight-grained spruce, carefully selected and scientifically tested to exceed KAWAI’s demanding resonance standards, ensuring exceptional dynamic range and outstanding tonal balance across the entire sound spectrum.

Superior touch and reliability

The K-600 features the specially developed Millennium III ABS-Carbon upright piano action, combining carbon fibre with ABS to produce a lightweight yet incredibly strong and reliable mechanism. To improve the action’s climatic stability, KAWAI pioneered the use of aluminium action rails, aluminium hammer rest rails and ABS action parts – addressing many of the problems associated with wooden components, such as breakage under continual high stress, and shrinking/swelling due to changes in temperature and humidity. Longer keys make playing easier and provide more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface. The benefits to the player are greater control and more power with less effort.


Sophisticated and contemporary design

With attractive traditional style cabinetry and soft closing fallboard, the K-600 is an ideal choice of larger upright piano for the home environment or school performance space.

Low maintenance costs

In addition to the exceptionally large solid spruce soundboard, the K-600 also utilises six fully laminated back posts, more than in any other K Series model, delivering optimum rigidity and excellent tuning stability.
