Kawai K-300 AURES 2 | Hybrid Piano Review | Play Silently with Headphones Anytime
youtube
Even before the onset of the 2020 and 2021 global lockdowns that saw much of the world spending much more time at home than usual, hybrid pianos, i.e. fully acoustic pianos augmented with digital piano features, were becoming increasingly advanced and increasingly popular.
With the onset of the events of 2020 and 2021, demand for these instruments went through the roof to the point that they were rarely ever in stock without being presold. After all, many people live in crowded households or in close proximity to neighbors making it hard to find a time during the day to make all kinds of noise on an upright or grand piano. Having the option to flip a switch and play your otherwise fully acoustic piano with headphones opens up all kinds of possibilities.
This brings us to the Kawai K-300 AURES 2 hybrid upright piano, which serves as an update to the first-generation AURES. There’s been a few critical upgrades, yet everything that made the first-generation AURES so popular and so well-liked remains in place.
With all of that out of the way, here’s our review of the new K-300 AURES 2.
Kawai K-300 AURES 2 - Background
Kawai K-300 AURES 2 Hybrid Piano AURES vs ATX
It’s important to clarify off the hop exactly what kind of instrument the K-300 AURES 2 is and how it differs from a standard K-300 or an ATX K-300. So, what we have here is a standard K Series Kawai K-300 Upright Piano augmented by the digital sound engine technology featured in Kawai’s premium NOVUS series hybrid digital pianos and Kawai’s Hybrid Soundboard amplification system which features nothing short of 4 high-performance transducers.
This means that in addition to being able to plug in a set of headphones and play without bothering others, you’re given full reign of the cutting-edge SK-EX Rendering Engine, and Harmonic Imaging XL engine (with 90 total sounds), both of which can be used acoustically via the transducer powered solid spruce soundboard speaker system. You can also stream music through the soundboard speaker system via Bluetooth Audio, giving you what amounts to a high-fi stereo setup.
The contrast here with the ATX-labeled instruments is that while they still have the silent functionality and tone generator, the transducer soundboard system is absent.
This is important to note because while the Kawai K-500 is available in an AURES 2 model, the Kawai K-200 is only available in an ATX format.
Differences from AURES 1 to AURES 2
Next up, many people will be wondering what the differences are between AURES 1 and AURES 2. While there are certainly more similarities than differences here, let’s get into exactly what the improvements are.
First of all, there has been an update to the transducers, though Kawai hasn’t been very specific as to what those improvements are. It seems like the placement of the transducers has been changed, and it sounds like there's also been an update to the mechanism of the transducers themselves.
While there seems to be some confusion online as to the amount of transducers with some people suggesting that the AURES 2 has more transducers than the AURES 1, this isn’t actually the case as the AURES 1 also had 4 transducers, so the differences really seem to be in the placement and the design.
The second big difference with the AURES 2 is the absence of the control panel on the left side. For most users, this will be a positive thing because many will agree that this improves the overall aesthetic of the instrument.
While not everyone was bothered by the constantly backlit control panel, there were plenty of users who felt it cheapened the look of an otherwise beautiful upright piano. The other advantage here is that by removing the screen, they’ve removed one of the components most prone to mechanical failure down the road.
This means that to get in and control all of the digital piano-related functions, you will do so from a smart device by connecting either through Bluetooth MIDI or through the USB port.
The last difference with the AURES 2 is that it features an updated version of the SK-EX Rendering engine, which happens to be one of the most advanced digital piano tone engines currently on the market available in any new piano.
Kawai K-300 AURES 2 - SK-EX Rendering Engine Update to the K-300 Professional Upright Piano
In terms of the acoustic instrument portion, there has been a small update to the K-300 itself, which is the addition of the microcell dampening rest rail for the underfelted hammers (double felted hammers).
This takes the already great repetition speed of the exclusive Millennium III upright action (with ABS-Carbon composites, extended key length and textured key surfaces) and makes it even better. Kawai first deployed this microcell technology in the K-800 and K-500, and how it’s made its way into the K-400 and K-300.
When looking inside the piano, you can see that the mahogany core hammers have virtually no bounce at all when resetting.
Otherwise, this is the same high-quality upright piano that has won Acoustic Piano of the Year for consecutive years in MMR magazine with perks like a soft fall fallboard, heavy-duty back posts, steel reinforced keyslip and high-quality casters.
AURES 2 Functionality
Let's dive in now and still cover the bulk of what you get with an AURES instrument for people who are just exploring this technology for the first time, or for those who might be comparing the K-300 AURES 2 to an equivalent product from Yamaha or another piano company.
Given that the K-300 AURES 2 is a fully acoustic piano augmented by digital technology, there are multiple different playing modes to choose from, as we have alluded to throughout this review. Let’s get a little bit more specific about each mode.
Aures 2 Functionality Mode 1: Acoustic Piano
The first playing mode would of course just be as a standard acoustic piano. To have it play in acoustic piano mode, you’ll need to make sure that you have the electronics totally turned off or the volume knob set to zero, otherwise, you’ll still get sound coming from the transducers. You’ll also need to make sure that the middle pedal, which serves as the mute rail, is not engaged.
With many silent upright pianos of the past, the piano action was compromised as a result of the added technology. This is not the case with the last few K-300 ATX and AURES pianos where the acoustic piano experience is completely maintained. Pianists can rest assured that they’re getting a K-300 of equal quality, performance and craftsmanship to their non-AURES brethren.
Mode 2: Transducers Engaged
The next playing mode is when you engage the damper rail which stops the hammers from striking the strings and turns on the electronic components. The transducers engage and the sound generated via the digital sound engines actually plays through the K-300’s tapered soundboard. This is definitely one of the coolest and most unique aspects of AURES musical instruments.
Honestly, it’s worth visiting a piano gallery or showroom that carries Kawai products just to see this in action for yourself, or with your favorite music streaming through the soundboard via a smart device.
Mode 3: Acoustic Piano Layered with Digital Sound
The third playing mode is a sort of hybrid mode that adds the AURES’s tone engine to the acoustic piano sound. With the mute rail not engaged, simply turn on the electronics, adjust the volume, and you can layer any one of the AURES 2’s many sounds over the acoustic upright piano sound.
For example, an absolutely classic pairing is to layer some strings over the acoustic piano sound, but any of the AURES 2’s 90 sounds are available here.
Mode 4: Silent Mode
The fourth and final mode is commonly referred to as silent mode. This simply means you have the mute rail engaged and electronics turned on, but instead of playing sound through the soundboard, you plug in a set of headphones.
This of course allows you to practice anytime you’d like with a fantastic acoustic upright piano action without disturbing others.
Stu’s Advice to Present & Future K-300 AURES 2 Owners
When drilling down to do this review, Stu noticed that there are two or three notes on the piano that produce some odd acoustic effects when using the default SK-EX concert grand sound when playing with the transducers and soundboard.
An easy thing that dramatically reduces that effect was simply switching the Rendering Character to Classic 2. This odd acoustic effect will probably only be audible in certain rooms, if you happen to be noticing this, simply switching to Classic 2 fixes the issue.
Connectivity Kawai K-300 AURES 2 Connectivity
Given the K-300 AURES 2’s digital piano components, it naturally has a number of connector ports built-in right underneath the keyboard.
There are dual headphone ports so two people can actually play or listen with headphones on at one time. There’s also classic 5-pin MIDI in and Out, as well as USB Type A and B.
Next, there’s a 1/8” stereo line in, and a 1/8” stereo line out. Rounding out the connectivity is the Bluetooth MIDI and Bluetooth Audio connectivity. As we mentioned, having an AURES 2 is essentially like having a high-end stereo system. Being able to stream music and hear it played through the K-300s soundboard is a truly singular experience!
Closing Thoughts
Thanks very much for checking out our review of this truly special instrument. If you aren’t yet familiar with hybrid instruments or have been exploring the option for a while, the K-300 AURES 2 is a class leader through and through.

A new partner Upright to my Steinway grand!
Shelter in Place has become tolerable by having two compatibly resonant musical sibs in my dwindling living room. The shrinking multi-purpose space holds my side-by-side pianos, webcams, tripods, Big Mac, and HP monitor. (not to mention a sequestered sleeper sofa)
The latest instrumental addition, Knabe WKV-132MD, a space-saving upright that replaced my mid-size Baldwin grand, has turned out to be a mega-resonant, beautifully voiced partner to ole reliable Steinway ‘M’ 1917.
The elder has been my faithful companion for decades, while Knabe, its junior, promises an enduring pleasure-filled rapport.
***
Knabe was discovered amidst aisles of K-200 and 300 (Kawai) verticals, alongside a sizable display of Yamaha gray market uprights, U-1’s etc. But none struck my fancy: They were either too bright, too tinny, or just plain flat sounding. I was frustrated, not finding my “voice” in any of them, until by a stroke of luck, I discovered a stately, tall upright off on a side wall, hardly noticeable in the trickle of pre-SIP customers who were headed south to the digital display of Kawai’s and Roland’s.
To my surprise and relief, I had finally encountered my “voice” in this less than widely publicized Knabe model that allowed my arms, hands and wrists to milk lilting phrases that poured from it in varying volumes, colors and dynamics!
youtube
I will admit, however, that there were some irregularities in touch, and the pedal had a few issues before I sealed the deal, but I was willing to overlook what I trusted could be adjusted at the first complimentary tuning and regulation.
At long last, this newest gift to myself, delivered on March 17th, 2020, will enjoy a long and happy bonding in par duo with its neighboring singing nightingale!

Kawai K 500 Upright Piano
Introduction:
The Kawai K500 upright may be a professional 51″ acoustic piano that's a neighborhood of the K-series of Upright Pianos, and one among the foremost popular models of latest pianos from Kawai are several similar between the 2, the K500 does bring a singular sound and power that the K300 simply isn’t capable of, and has been giving the Yamaha U3 a series run its money since its release in 2013.
In the review, Stu Harrison goes to be talking about the sound, also because the design features that directly contribute thereto tone specific tone. He also will cover the K-500’s action – the famous Millennium III action that introduces carbon fibre to the action parts of the piano, with extended keystick lengths, Neotex keytops , double-felted mahogany core hammers (sometimes called underfelted), and usually an equivalent responsiveness in the least velocities and dynamic ranges that became characteristic of all of the larger K-Series uprights. We’ll even be discussing its sound; this isn’t simply a cookie-cutter piano designed to fill a price point for Kawai. The K500 genuinely delivers a rare combination of power, dynamic range and tonal richness. Stu are going to be sharing some thoughts on who he thinks this is often perhaps a perfect instrument for.
In the above video, we’ve recorded the K500 with a pair of AKG C414 microphones, and there's no EQ or reverb applied thereto whatsoever.
Background:
The K-500 is a component of a category of instruments which fall under a stimulating grey zone. which grey zone is this: its one among the primary professional uprights that delivers an identical musical experience to a baby grand piano of an identical price. So purchasing a K500 must be for reasons beyond budget.
Well, within the case of the K-500, which sits right round the low teens in terms of its price point. And, of course, meaning on the Kawai side that would be putting you into quite a GL-10 range, on the Yamaha side, you'll be watching a GB1K, there’s a couple of products from the Samick company, you know, in their Knabe line that you simply might be watching for that price range too. So, you know, why consider something like this and what are you giving up? Well, first of all, during a lot of cases, with a 52-inch upright Right Here, you’re actually getting a string length that’s even longer than what you’re getting into your typical 5-foot baby grant. So, from a clarity standpoint, from a tonal standpoint, there’s actually some benefits to going with a taller piano like that. And so, for people and for teachers especially, who are recommending these sorts of instruments, and always talking about how the longest string possible is gonna deliver that clarity within the base, well, this is often actually not much of a compromise. this is often actually a very strong option and it’s how to truly get a extended string, well, without having to extend the budget.
Of course, an enormous a part of the value of a grand|parlor grand|parlor grand piano|parlour grand|parlour grand piano|grand piano|grand">baby grand piano or any grand piano is really constructing that thick, kind of rounded body that surrounds the piano. So, if you don’t need that additional construction cost, which during this price range really is essentially aesthetic, it doesn’t really actually serve much of a musical purpose until you get into the upper price ranges. This you'll argue may be a more efficient, less expensive higher value sort of a sale. In my musical opinion, honestly, the sole run into going with this sort of thing dollar for dollar is that you simply do perhaps miss out thereon aesthetic satisfaction that a baby grand piano could be ready to offer you. But musically speaking, especially if you’re ready to play with the lid up or in some cases, even with the front panel completely off, you’re getting the maximum amount sound and during a lot of cases a rather clearer sound than what you’re gonna get out of a 5-foot baby grand piano for therein $10,000 range.
Drilling into the small print of where the K-500 originated from, it belongs to Kawai’ K-series professional upright pianos, which again has been call at its current incarnation for about five years. This was an update that saw variety of technical improvements to the instruments. The previous generation was made from the K2, K3, K5, K6, K8 and now, of course, we’ve got the Kawai K-200, K-300, and K-400 which was a replacement addition, K-500, and K-800. And so, what are those changes? Well, within the K-500, what we've is additional key length, duplex scale, energy-absorbing key rest material, improved scale design, tapered soundboards, the addition of Neotex key tops to soak up the hand’s natural oils…in otherwords, tons of improvements.
All of these improvements contribute major improvements in tone, touch, dynamic range, and overall aesthetic look and feel.

Cấu tạo của đàn piano upright
Cũng tương tự như đàn piano 3 chân, đàn piano đứng cũng có những bộ phận chính góp phần làm nên giá trị cho cây đàn. Bạn nên tìm hiểu những bộ phận đó để nhận định được đâu là cây đàn tốt khi mua nhé.
Khung đàn piano upright
Thường thì khung của đàn được làm bằng gang, có tấm khóa lên dây nằm ở rìa trước của khung. Rìa trước của khung thường được bố trí nhiều chốt pin lên dây, còn ở rìa sau gắn thanh chốt dây để cài chặt một đầu dây đàn. Được biết độ căng của dây đàn được cân chỉnh bằng cách vặn các chốt lên dây và những chốt lên dây được quấn quanh các đầu dây đàn.
Bảng cộng hưởng
Bảng cộng hưởng của đàn piano đứng được làm bằng gỗ vân sam mỏng và cứng đặt ở sau lớp dây đàn. Bảng cộng hưởng này có tác dụng làm tăng âm bằng rung động cộng hưởng.
Dây đàn
Dây đàn của piano upright được làm từ dây thép, có độ dài và độ dày tăng dần lên theo độ giảm dần. Trong đó, 2 hoặc 3 dây đàn kết hợp được thiết kế có độ cao như nhau và được sử dụng cho nốt âm cao. Những nốt nào có âm thấp thì dùng 1 dây và được thiết kế có kích thước lớn và nặng hơn.
Bộ cơ
Bộ cơ của đàn piano đứng gồm các bộ phận đầu búa chuyển động chạm tới dây đàn. Các phím đàn trắng được làm từ chất liệu nhựa hoặc ngà voi, còn phím đen thì được làm bằng nhựa hoặc gỗ mun.
Bộ pedals
Bộ pedals hay còn được gọi là bàn đạp gồm có pedal vang âm có nhiệm vụ giữ bàn phím chặt âm tách khỏi dây đàn và cho phép dây đàn rung lâu hơn. Chúng có khả năng tạo ra âm vang cho dù tay đã buông khỏi phím đàn. Bên cạnh đó, còn có pedal nhả bàn phím và pedal dùng để giảm tiếng khi chơi ban đêm.
Hộp đàn
Hộp đàn chính là phần tạo nên hình dáng của đàn, nó cũng là cơ sở để phân biệt đàn piano grand và piano upright. Đàn dòng grand được thiết kế với nhiều kích thước khác nhau thì piano upright lại thiết kế nhỏ gọn với ít kích thước hơn.
Ưu nhược điểm của đàn piano đứng
– Đàn piano đứng có ưu điểm là giá bán thường thấp hơn so với đàn piano grand. Chất lượng đàn cũ cũng không có gì quá khác biệt so với đàn mới về chất lượng cũng như giá cả thị trường.
– Về nhược điểm, đàn piano upright thường có xu hướng bị mất giá nhanh hơn so với đàn piano grand. Đồng thời đàn có các bộ phận nhạy cảm, có nhiệt độ dao động và vị trí thùng đàn khá nhạy cảm.

Upright Pianos - Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Upright Pianos
youtube
In today's article we are talking about Upright Pianos - literally everything you need to know about Upright Piano. If you're in the market for an upright piano, this is the article for you.
We're not going to tell you what piano to buy or how much money to spend, but we are going to cover all of the critical areas of difference between these lovely instruments, including the price ranges, the sizes, and what makes one different from another, and finally, how to go about selecting one.
Please check out the accompanying video for an even more in-depth explanation and some playing examples as well!
Opening Thoughts
Since, 2020, we have experienced an almost two-fold increase in the number of medium-range and premium-range upright pianos that are sold in Canada.
One has to ask the question - why? What are the trends that are driving these spikes in sales? Dovetailing with this question is another that often gets asked; "Why would I buy an upright piano that costs as much as a baby grand piano?" Most people have a traditional paradigm in their mind that says if you can afford the baby grand, that's always the preferred option, both from an aesthetic standpoint as well as a musical one.
That said, there are a number of realities that are pushing people towards these higher-end uprights, chief of which is the bevy of musical reasons why an upright piano might be a better alternative. Let's start there before moving into our upright piano overview.
Upright Pianos - General Overview Upright Pianos - Kawai K Series Space
The first reason someone would go with an upright is obviously space. More and more people out there are living in smaller urban situations, often times in stacked townhouses. Stacked townhouses of course come with a lot of stairwells. Grand pianos not only take up a lot of floor space, but they're also really challenging to deliver inside 0stacked townhouses and condos.
Design Innovations
A second reason is that there has been more innovation on the upright side of things than the grand side of things over the last several years. A big one is an advancement in hybrid and silent upright pianos available. Hybrid and silent grand pianos exist too, but there's been more advancement done on the upright side of things, and hybrid grands also happen to be very expensive.
Now, let's look at upright pianos as a whole.
Upright Piano Sizing K-300 Upright Piano Dimensions
Acoustic Upright pianos come in a number of different sizes. They typically start around 42" in height (generally known as a console piano), and go up inch by inch until about 54". The common sizes you'll typically encounter are 44", 46", and 48", which happens to be the size of the extremely popular Yamaha U1 and Kawai K-300 professional upright pianos.
The Yamaha U3 at 52" also happens to be a very popular vertical piano, and there are a few high-end German uprights that get up to 54".
You can't always draw absolute conclusions on things like scale design, string length, or soundboard size simply based on the cabinet size, but the size is a general barometer for how loud and powerful an upright piano is.
Price Ranges Used Upright Pianos
What can you expect to pay for an upright piano on the private market or from a retailer? Starting at the very bottom, you can find used pianos for as little as free. These are typically smaller North American-made wood finish uprights from companies like Baldwin and Heintzman, typically built anywhere from 50 to 100 years ago.
Free Uprights
A free upright piano of this vintage is not going to be particularly musically successful. In many cases, if you really strip away all of the bias associated with acoustic versus digital, a digital piano for around $1,000 or so is actually going to give you a better instrument to play on than a free acoustic used upright, especially if the upright is a spinet piano.
$1,000-$4,000
Moving up from there and you'll start to find used Korean, Indonesian and Japanese pianos, anywhere from about $1,000 to $4,000 generally speaking. These are the instruments such as Yamaha U1s, Yamaha B series, Kawai K3s, Samick's, Young Chang's, etc., built from the early 1970s and on.
There's a thriving market for this kind of piano, especially Kawai and Yamaha uprights, and there are certainly some great deals to be had, even if you're not getting the piece of mind that comes with a new piano warranty.
$5,000-$20,000
This category is less common, but you will of course find lightly used uprights out there, as well as used high-end handmade upright pianos that will typically fall somewhere between $5,000-$20,000.
Of course, anyone spending upwards of $20,000 on a used upright piano is looking for a very specific type of instrument that is probably going to retail for in excess of $40,000 new.
New Upright Pianos $4,000-$10,000
New upright pianos start at around the $4,000 USD range, and these are going to be for 44" (sometimes called studio pianos) factory-made upright pianos, typically built in Indonesia or China. If you're going with an instrument from a reputable company, Kawai and Yamaha, you can expect a mechanically sound instrument with a fairly consistent tone and stable tuning. There's not a lot of tonal refinement available at this price range, but for people who are just starting out, you can really start developing proper techniques and have an enjoyable musical experience.
$10,000-$15,000
The next jump brings us to about $10,000, and this is where you start to see 46", 48", and maybe even 50" pianos from those same companies. As the height increases, in some cases, so will the quality of the materials and the design, and a lot of these instruments are built both for the home, and for institutional settings.
Once we cross the $10,000 threshold, we start to get into the hybrid pianos, and hybrid in this case means pianos where there is some component of European manufacturing, combined with Chinese manufacturing. There are a number of brands that mix and match both labor and parts between a European factory and a Chinese factory.
In this category, we're basically trading off the advantage of Japanese assembly, for slightly more expensive components and design, offset by the lower costs of Chinese assembly.
$15,000-$20,000 The sweet spot for people looking for a really great balance of high-quality tone, high-quality materials, and manufacturing quality that is equal to that of a Japanese plant is when you get above $15,000. These are going to be European-built pianos, likely either from the Czech Republic, Poland, or possibly even Germany. These are instruments that can match or exceed the musical performance of a similarly priced baby grand.
$20,000 & Up
Once you hit about the $20,000 mark it becomes a real connoisseur's marketplace. You're largely into European and American-built pianos at this point, and it becomes a highly subjective, highly personal matter of taste with fantastic sound quality, excellent responsiveness of touch, and timeless design.
That $20,000 ranges all the way up to about $60,000 or $70,000 for the most expensive upright pianos in the world, such as the C. Bechstein Concert 8 or the Hamburg Steinway & Sons K-132.
So, that's a rundown of the price ranges you can expect to see out there for upright pianos. Let's move on and discuss the key differences between a factory-made instrument, versus a handmade one.
Factory vs Handmade Craftsmanship
The term handmade is actually a bit of a misnomer, because there's actually some hand workmanship that goes into most factory pianos, and machines involved in making traditionally defined handmade pianos.
A much better way to look at these two categories is to think of limited production vs mass production, with limited production instruments also taking way longer to build.
Most of the upright pianos that carry the label handmade have had some machining that's been used along with computer automation, but there's been an enormous amount of time by one or several members of the assembly crew that has gone into assembling and regulating the action, the assembly of the shaping of the soundboard, and into the engineering of the carpentry to allow for the maximum resonance of all acoustic materials.
Manufacturing Time
The difference in the manufacturing time can be extraordinarily large. For a $4,000 or $5,000 factory-made upright piano, we could be looking at a total manufacturing time of just a few dozen hours, somewhere in the range of 30 to 50 hours. On the other hand, with the C. Bechstein Concert 8 for example, the manufacturing process takes over 300 hours!
As we would say, this huge amount of extra time leads to massive refinement in the soundboard, regulating the action at fanatical levels, and studiously voicing all of the hammers for maximum bloom on every note. And in the case of an instrument at this quality level, the entire cabinet is actually resonating as another acoustic component.
That pretty much sums up the difference between factory-made and handmade. Let's move on to differences with regard to country of origin.
Country of Origin
Another common question or line of research people get into is understanding the difference between American, Asian, and European-made upright pianos. Does the country of origin affect the musical performance or build the quality of a given instrument?
American Made Pianos
Let's talk about the quintessential American sound first. There are only three manufacturers remaining in the United States right now making upright pianos, which are Charles Walter, Mason & Hamlin, and Steinway.
Are there any consistent factors across these three piano makers? American uprights, much like American grands, tend to have a very mid-range heavy tone. There's often high use of maples and other hardwoods, which tend to accentuate mid-range frequencies. American pianos tend to have large dynamic ranges, and they're also known for their exterior furniture as well.
On the negative side, American pianos aren't known for particularly great actions or control. They are also not known for a great deal of tonal consistency from the lower range to the upper range. But, if you're looking for that specific American tonal profile, you won't find it elsewhere.
Asian Made Pianos
If you're looking for a more precise experience, Asian and European pianos will offer a little more in this regard. When it comes to Asian pianos, it's very difficult to lump them into a single category, because while you have some very basic low-quality pianos from China, there are also so much nicer, more advanced pianos coming out of certain Chinese facilities.
You also have Japan with a very mature piano market that's literally 100 years old. There are also still Korean pianos, but that market has greatly declined and production has instead moved to Indonesia.
Is there any sort of tonal consistency to any one of these 4 Asian countries? With Japanese-made pianos, yes. Japanese Kawai and Yamaha pianos sound pretty consistent, if Kawai is considered darker and warmer, while Yamaha's are usually thought of as brighter with more attack.
Indonesian pianos are generally pretty consistent too. Beyond that, it's a complete mash of tonal styles, designs, and materials being used, to the point that isn't fair to say that there's an 'Asian' sound.
European Made Pianos
On the European side of things, you're generally getting higher grade materials, such as a more expensive or higher grade hammer felt and a higher grade of spruce used for the soundboard. The action regulation typically done at European factories tends to be very high also.
These refinements are generally going to deliver a more precise tone, especially with regard to the consistency across all ranges. There's typically going to be a higher degree of control in terms of the touch, and the quality of the build means the instrument is going to last longer.
We've covered some of the basics. Now, how do you go about choosing one of these pianos for yourself and for your home?
How to Choose an Upright Piano
Upright vs Hybrid Digital
What are the questions you should be asking while you decide on a piano? The first thing you'll have to decide is if you're going to go with a traditional acoustic upright or a digital/acoustic hybrid. An acoustic/digital hybrid is something that combines both digital components as well as acoustic components.
This combination allows an otherwise fully acoustic piano to be played completely silently. The Kawai K300 Aures for example has a digital piano control panel built right into the side, and you can mute the piano and plug-in set headphones so you can play without disturbing others. This added flexibility is a huge deal for some people, but it does add about $5,000 to the price.
Bass Clarity
Once you've decided whether you're going acoustic or with some type of acoustic-digital hybrid, the next questions really come down to playing style, tonal style, and spending some time in front of these prospective instruments.
There are areas on upright pianos that tend to be weak spots, and this is where a really great design immediately solves a lot of issues. One of the things that people focus on with upright pianos is bass clarity, and this is very difficult to achieve in a shorter instrument due to the shorter string length.
When you're first shopping for an upright piano, one of the things you'll want to look for is to make sure you're getting something that's got a nice clear bass tone. It doesn't mean that you have to get a 52-inch piano or even a 48-inch piano as there are shorter uprights out there with great bass registers.
Break
Another weak spot you'll find on some upright pianos is the break, which is the transitional area of the piano where it switches from steel strings to copper-wound strings. This transition can sound very abrasive and metallic if the design isn't well executed, so pay attention to that.
Action
The third weak spot can be the action. There are actions out there made entirely of wood, and others that combine wood with synthetic parts. While there's been debate about incorporating synthetic parts in the past, the vast majority of the professional community, both on the technical side and musical side have both accepted and recognized that a really great synthetic action can be just as musical, and in some cases have significant maintenance benefits over inexpensive wood action.
So, don't focus on the material so much as the playing experience, which is the true test of whether or not you're playing a good action. Make sure to play the action at a very soft dynamic range, as well as medium and loud dynamic ranges to see how it responds. The hardest thing for an upright piano to do is to deliver accuracy when playing softly, particularly if you're playing fast at a low dynamic range.
Ultimately, you want to make sure that the action on the instrument you're considering can deliver what you need. This can be especially important for students and beginners who do their lessons or perform on a grand piano but practice on an upright at home.
Clarity of Tone
Our last suggestion for where to really judge an upright piano is going to be in the clarity of the tone, particularly in the top-end range of the instrument.
Upright treble strings are so short, proportionally speaking, that you need even more refinement at smaller tolerances in order to achieve really great clarity on the top of an upright piano. What we mean by clarity, in this case, is an absence of buzzing or uncontrolled harmonics.
Higher-quality uprights have great clarity and no distortion, while lower-quality ones start to distort when the volume gets pushed. Let's move on to our final section.
Differences Between Upright Pianos
In this final section here we'll discuss why one upright piano may differ from another upright piano. For instance, why does one 48" piano cost $8,000 while another 48" piano costs $30,000? Well, there are about eight or nine components in an upright piano that will directly contribute to both the cost and thus the quality of the musical experience.
Cabinet Construction Back Post - Cabinet Construction
The first thing we'll focus on is the back post and overall cabinet construction. On our example instrument in the accompanying video, you'll see five large back posts. There is a variety of approaches that manufacturers take with back posts in general. The function of back posts, as well as the overall construction and design of that cabinet, is to provide strength and rigidity. When you get into a higher-level instrument, it actually also takes on tonal importance.
On something premium like a C. Bechstein, Bösendorfer, or Steingraeber, the cabinetry on the back is so precise and designed in a way that not only is it giving the instrument strength, but it's actually contributing to the transmission of energy and tone throughout both the soundboard as well as the cabinet.
On lower-grade instruments, back posts strictly serve a structural purpose, and they're not actually contributing a lot to the resonance of the instrument. So a key difference here is the level and design of the carpentry on a given piano.
Agraffes Upright Piano Agraffes
Agraffes are another feature you'll generally only find on higher-end uprights. These contribute to further string alignment and ensure precise termination after the string has been struck. Their presence can help eliminate things like false beats and uncontrolled harmonics. Less expensive pianos will use a pressure bar for the same purpose, though a pressure bar is not considered as good as a set of agraffes.
The Bridge
A third difference is how the bridging has been approached. Like on a grand piano, there's quite a variety of bridge designs you'll see on various pianos, and an equally wide range of costs to execute said designs.
There's everything from a solid bridge with a single piece of wood, to hardwood bridges with a cap, to vertically laminated bridges, which is by far the most expensive type of bridge. The better the bridge, the better the energy from the strings is transmitted to the soundboard.
To pull this off effectively can get very expensive very quickly, so generally speaking, the less expensive the piano, the less expensive the bridge design.
Soundboard Material
The next difference is the soundboard, and this one is a big deal. Soundboards come in different sizes and with different materials selected. Virtually all soundboards use some type of spruce, but whether or not the spruce is solid or laminated makes a huge difference.
Laminated soundboards are actually significantly stronger and more stable, but the big knock against them is that with all of the layers of wood and glue, the soundboard's ability to resonate and sustain the vibration is dramatically reduced. You've got all sorts of factors that are actually going to suck up more energy.
As such, pretty much all mid-range and high-end soundboards are made with solid spruce, as the acoustic properties are just that much better.
Soundboard Design
The next difference in soundboard design is whether or not to taper or leave it untouched. All soundboards have some type of curve, but a tapered soundboard has been thinned out towards the edges, which allows more of the soundboard to activate and resonate. This means that a smaller tapered soundboard will resonate as much or more than a larger, non-tapered counterpart. This is a time-consuming process, so again, tapering starts to appear as you move up in quality, so less expensive pianos generally don't have tapered soundboards.
The last distinction with soundboards is the choice of spruce. The two main types are some form of White spruce (typically Alaskan or Austrian), versus Sitka spruce. Sitka is a very common, less expensive spruce that tends to have a warmer tone, but with less clarity and sustain. White spruce tends to be more expensive and has a tighter grain, meaning the wood is older and grows more slowly.
Action Refinement
Last but not least is the action, but it's quite simple - the more expensive the upright, the more refined the action is from a design standpoint and the more time that has gone into regulating the action at the factory level.
