Kawai K-500 AURES 51" Professional Hybrid Upright Piano

With its taller 51" height and well-designed scale, the K-500 offers even better clarity, dynamic range and tonal richness. The K-500 AURES additionally features sound and operation technology found on Kawai’s flagship digital instruments, including a modern LCD touchscreen display and the new Kawai Hybrid Soundboard amplification system.

Building on the functionality of their AnyTime Silent System -- which incorporates an acoustic muting feature with digital audio components -- Kawai's Aures system takes digital-acoustic technology even further. You get the high-functionality offered by Kawai's Concert Artist digital pianos plus the ability to play silently through headphones and a powerful sound system. Developed in collaboration with Onkyo, Japan’s leading premiere audio manufacturer, the soundboard technology incorporates four high performance transducer components that allow the K-500 Aures to deliver digital audio through its premium solid spruce soundboard resulting in a rich, powerful, and expansive sound.

The K Series K-500 upright piano itself sings with a powerful and clear tone through its big, tapered, solid spruce soundboard. It offers wider dynamic range than ever before -- from thundering fortissimos to the most sensitive and delicate pianissimos. With elegant styling, responsive touch and richness of tone, the K-500 upright piano extends its award-winning heritage by delivering an unbeatable performance that will blow away even the most discerning pianists.

A significant improvement upon its predecessors within the K Series lineup, the K-500 offers Kawai's proprietary NEOTEX key surfaces for better grip and durability, upper duplex scaling for added brilliance in the treble range, a lock convenient 40-inch music desk built into the fallboard, and an even bigger soundboard.

The K-500 and AURES2 hybrid system is available for show alongside other pianos in the K Series lineup at either one of our locations. Schedule an appointment to compare them all today!

• The Aures Hybrid System allows for the sounds and rhythms present in Kawai's Concert Artist digital pianos to be heard through headphones or through the powerful hybrid soundboard system

• Compared to K-400: Much richer and more defined tone thanks to bigger soundboard and upper duplex scaling, NEOTEX key surfaces for better key feel and durability, and a lock built into the fallboard for safekeeping (and the music desk is built into the fallboard again)

• Award-winning Millennium III Action made with new ABS-Carbon material: the most consistent, reliable and dynamic action on the market

• Sizeable solid select-spruce soundboard supported (I love alliteration) by thick ribs, laminated back posts, plate bolts, and "matched strength" iron plate results in a strong and soulful sound, sure to last decades longer than traditional soundboard designs -- plus the soundboard is specially contoured for a louder and more sustained tone

• Composite-material action + steel- and aluminum-reinforcement + multi-laminated keybed, pinblock and backposts = a durable piano that'll last a lifetime and cost less to maintain

• High-end construction and features that match those of much more expensive pianos such as specially-designed iron plate, mahogany-core double-felted hammers, double-casters, and soft-close fall board.

• Sleek and professional institutional cabinet with a toe-block design, extended music desk, and high-quality pedals -- available in multiple finishes
