The medium-sized C. Bechstein Residence R 4 Classic is the epitome of balance. The very feeling of playing this upright piano is one of extraordinary refinement and effortlessness. The sound is elevated by wonderfully balanced overtones. This balance is also maintained externally: The piano’s proportions are perfect, and its classic profile blends elegantly yet modestly into almost any interior.

Sublime to the ear, exquisite to the touch

Besides its grand pianos, C. Bechstein is known all over the world for investing a lot of development time and craftsmanship in upright pianos. You can hear and feel this from the very first note. The Residence R 4 Classic instantly produces a pure, sublime sound and a uniquely singing, melodic line. This extraordinary sound is wonderfully easy to shape and experience thanks to the extreme responsiveness and the large dynamic range.

Classic aesthetics that inspire generations

The C. Bechstein Residence R 4 Classic boasts a classic shape and clear, elegant lines. At the same time, the perfectly refined construction and harmonious architecture of the piano are designed to optimise the preservation of its action, so you can be sure that every subtle nuance of your music is accurately transformed into wondrous C. Bechstein sound.

http://pianovertu.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Kawai-K-upright_1.mov The K-15 offers an excellent introduction to the quality of Kawai upright pianos. As well as being highly regarded, it is also considered one of the most popular pianos in its class in terms of value for money. Featuring a solid spruce top and the highly acclaimed Ultra-Reactive Direct action with ABS Styran parts, this Continental-style instrument produces a rich, clear sound with performance that rivals that of much larger uprights.

Touch

Exceptional touch, high reliability

The K-15E features the Ultra-Responsive™ mechanism, with hammers featuring selected wooden handles and 100% wool felted heads, providing an extraordinary feel. To improve stability, KAWAI has developed the use of aluminum rails (action, hammer rest) as well as ABS mechanism parts, resolving the many problems associated with wooden components, such as breakage following high stress, shrinkage and expansion due to changes in temperature and humidity.

Tone

FIRST-STATE SOLID SOUNDBOARD

The soundboard and its bracing are crucial elements when it comes to the sound of a piano. The materials used and how they are assembled determine the quality and volume of the produced sound. The soundboard of the K-15E is made of straight-grained, carefully selected spruce, scientifically tested to meet KAWAI's resonance standards, in order to achieve an exceptional dynamic range and surprising tonal balance across the entire sound spectrum.

A European style and design

MODERNE STYLE, CHEAP PRICE

In addition to its exceptional solid spruce soundboard, the K-15E also features four multi-ply back braces, ensuring optimal instrument rigidity and highly stabilized tuning stability. With its European design and style, the K-15E is an instrument that seamlessly fits into modern interiors. Its technical features and excellent value make it the ideal choice for beginners, allowing them to experience the remarkable qualities of KAWAI pianos.

What makes this piano the bestseller of all Schimmel models? Perhaps because this instrument has the ideal combination of reliability, playability, tonal quality and elegance. The C 116 Tradition, the little brother of the C 120 Tradition, has risen to the top of the list. The piano has been part of Schimmel's program for over a decade, and its popularity remains intact.https://pianovertu.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/KAWAI-k300-website-video.mp4 https://youtu.be/vJU2D4tFkuQ?si=T9hb3TzjSl3mfb3i The 48 ″ K-300 upright piano builds on the award-winning heritage of its predecessor, the K-3, offering an unusual touch and exquisite sound. The K-300 features our revolutionary Millennium III Upright Action designed with carbon composite components to deliver ultra-responsive touch and exceptional musical expression. The K-300 K-Series upright projects a rich, pleasing sound thanks to its tapered solid spruce top, which offers a wide dynamic range from thunderous fortissimos to the most sensitive and delicate pianissimos. With its elegant styling, responsive touch and rich sonority, the K-300 upright proudly extends its award-winning heritage, offering unrivalled performance to satisfy the most demanding pianists.

Touch

Millennium III Upright Action

The Millennium III Upright's action features components made from ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by infusing carbon fiber into our famous ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly strong and rigid, enabling the creation of lighter action parts without compromising strength. The result is a more powerful, faster action offering greater control and stability than conventional all-wood actions.

Extended Key Length

Longer keys make the game easier to play and offer a more uniform response from the front to the back of the playing surface. The benefits for the player are better control and more power with less effort. Piano droit KAWAI K300 chez Piano Vertu

Tone

Solid spruce conical soundboard

The soundboard is the heart of a piano. Its role is to transform the vibrations of the piano strings into a rich, resonant sound. Kawai uses only solid quarter-grain spruce for the K series soundboards. Each soundboard is strategically tapered to maximize its tonal capacity. Only those that meet or exceed our strict quality standards are selected for use in our professional upright pianos. Piano droit KAWAI K300 chez Piano Vertu

The hammers

Mahogany wood core and double felt hammers secured with T-shaped staples.

Mahogany hammerblocks are lightweight and extremely responsive. Found only on the finest pianos, mahogany is used for the hammer moldings on the entire range of K-Series professional upright pianos. All K-Series hammers are stapled in a T-shape to preserve their shape, and feature an additional inner layer of felt to support the creation of exceptional sound.
