Kawai K-300

The Kawai K Series pianos employ a number of innovative designs, such as the Millennium III Upright Action, which is the secret behind the ultra-responsive touch of these pianos. With outstanding tone and touch, the K Series offers the dependability and character needed to please any performing pianist from the novice to the seasoned professional.

so glad to see a romanian pianist in presentation videos :) well done!

[@Wendy-bv8pm]

Amazing pianist, we got just the k300 for our 4 yo, listen to your pianist play this piano makes me love this piano more.

[@stephanienorman4262]

great video! I have a very old piano which is now playing up :'( looking at the k-300 as a replacement. thanks.

[@SanderCurtis]

She's a great pianist wow... Wish I could've heard what the bass was capable of. Good video though!

[@e.sren5]

Anyone having issues with repetition? I've had that with all three k-300 I played. Missing notes that weren't missing playing other upright pianos with better repetition.

Great video, however, your cardioid condenser microphones seem not to be aligned properly, unless (please feel free to correct me) you are only interested in picking up secondary reflections off the open lid?

[@Chrshv80]

Greetings, I have this same piano at home and do audio engineering. Do you mind sharing which mics you used on the top of the piano? Thanks!

I am a Kawai K300 ATX2 owner for 2 years. I still love this piano a lot and play it every day. What's the name of the first song?

[@jonahholmes6777]

Tchaikovsky nutcracker suite, dance of the sugar plum fairy.

[@PeaceNinja007]

Im assuming you had to purchase the ATX2 system separately. How much was it?

[@samuell304]

Can I ask you: Is the pianist pressing the soft pedal during pianissimos? I would like to know how this instrument performs during such a softly parts... Many people claim that upright pianos are not good enough at playing softly. What do you think? Is there to much need to use the soft pedal? Thanks in advance

[@interestedErvini]

I've got the same upright piano, I know most people say there isn't much point in a soft pedal on an upright but on the k-300 it actually does sound good and you can play softly.

[@kiwii.8385]

YES OMG

[@zhxnw3547]

what is the name of the first song

[@erwin-robinlemonway2940]

Dance of the sugar plum fairies.

[@heimatdesignPunktCom]

I will buy the K200. Really lovely piano :) Can you tell me whos arrangement this is? I cant find the sheets matching exactely what Alexandra is playing. Thanks in advance

[@heimatdesignPunktCom]

OK, I think its her arrangement. But are there any sheets available?

[@PeaceNinja007]

How much is the K200 going for right now? 2020

[@ztetest9452]

K300 is much much better than k200. K200 is NO difference from k15.

[@noone-uw6ui]

@@ztetest9452 As a K200 owner I can say this is simply not true. K300 and K200 are practically the same spec from the build quality, finish and materials, as well as the components and action. the main difference is the shorter height and therefore thicker gauge bass strings are used. This means the bass on the K200 has a different sound to larger pianos, some might say muffled even when compared to grand pianos but certainly not bad or unplayable, they just have their own voice. K200 models have the Millennium 3 upright action the SAME as the K300+, this is very important as it massively separates it from lower spec Kawai's, and makes it far more preferable to Yamahas of the same price range. The only other main differences are more beams, five as opposed to three across the soundboard on the K300. And the K200 is built in Indonesia as opposed to Japan. If they were both made in Japan, the price would likely be the same or possibly even more since I imagine the K300 to be far more popular and therefore would be cheaper by economies of scale. Despite being made in a different factory, in a different country, the quality on the K200 from what I can tell is identical to the K300, there does not appear to be any corners cut besides cheaper labour. It would be like comparing USA Fender guitars to Mexican Fender guitars, it can be impossible to tell them apart at times. If you live in a small apartment, or use a small practice room the k200 is the better choice. The k300 is better suited for studio/classroom size since it needs more space to breathe with its bigger sound. It would easily overpower a small space and have your neighbours at war with you. It is certainly not 'much much better', it really comes down to... do I have a small room? Is volume prohibitive? If the answers are No then yes buy a K300 its a fantastic piano, Otherwise get the K200 because its the same piano built for a lower volume. It sounds and plays amazing still. The k15 as well as E200 models drop in build quality or spec. The k15 resembles a digital piano case and has a pretty basic action, it has short bass strings and is just meant to be an affordable branded acoustic piano. The E200 is much improved especially in how it looks, but as noted does not have the M3 action, which is the real reason to consider Kawai as a serious piano.
