Kawai K500 AURES Upright Piano - Main Features and Demonstration

[@okapiiisky8664]

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation on the resonance sound of the strings when played in Aures digital mode. I think It's a breakthrough and a very important point for better improved digital piano sound !

Hi will you be doing a demo on Kawai NV5?

With duplex scaling and extended keys, is the K500’s action as quick as grand pianos’?

[@RichardLawsonPianosLtd]

The duplex scaling only really affects the sound in the treble section, making it more colourful. Even though the K500 does have a particularly responsive and fast keyboard action for an upright piano, most grands - especially those above entry-level - would have a quicker action when it comes to things like repetition, for example, just because they use a horizontal action with even longer keys.

Richard Lawson Pianos Ltd Thank you! 👍🤗

Fabulous review and playing I really like the piano sound and good future actually I am planning to buy a K300 AERUS but now I feel K500-A is a much better option. I have small question regarding the keys action. What is the exact keys weight in grams because I need weight around 48 to 50 grams. I prefer little heavy keys as I am learning a western classical music. It would be great if you can reply. Thank you so much 😊

Middle C of the Kawai K500 is weighted at 60g +/-10%: due to the organic parts of a piano they will have slight differences in weighting, but this should give you a good idea. Thanks for your comment!

Can I use my own bluetooth headphones with this piano?

[@thomasvanloo1906]

My understanding is that bluetooth audio carries with it a delay in sound output

[@tempestv8]

Indeed you are right! I ended up buying a Yamaha U1 with the silent feature, and certainly when I plugged in an aftermarket USB bluetooth adapter, the audio had a sound output delay that made it impossible to play the piano and listen via bluetooth headphones.

How do you connect the headphones?

[@RichardLawsonPianosLtd]

There are two headphone ports underneath the control panel (which is under the keyboard).
