The Kawai K-18 is a high-quality Japanese-made piano, renowned for its rich, powerful tone and highly responsive touch. Despite its compact size, it delivers an impressive and full-bodied sound that rivals much larger instruments.
As Japan’s second-largest piano manufacturer after Yamaha, Kawai has earned an outstanding reputation for craftsmanship and innovation. Many musicians appreciate Kawai’s slightly warmer tone and their forward-thinking approach to piano design. The K Series, in particular, has received numerous prestigious awards for its excellence.
The K-18 features three pedals, including a practice (mute) pedal for quiet playing, making it ideal for both home and studio use. Suitable for pianists of all levels—from beginners to professionals—this model offers exceptional quality and performance in a compact form.

Tone and tuning
Lovely rich tone, quite warm with a little pleasant brightness and a large dynamic range - plenty of power for fortissimo passages! Excellent bass for a fairly small upright piano and the treble is clear and bell like. Nicely balanced tone throughout the registers. Tuned to concert pitch (A=440).
Keyboard and action
The K-18 features the exclusive Kawai Ultra-Responsive Action, which provides an outstanding level of control to the pianist. The action uses some ABS-Carbon components, designed to be stiff but light, as well as more traditional handcrafted wooden parts, making the piano’s touch very responsive and with fast repetition. The full 88 note keyboard is in excellent condition and the action has been regulated so plays smoothly across the whole keyboard, with a medium weight to suit all abilities.
Hammers and strings
Hardly any wear in the hammer felts and the strings are also in superb condition (see photos).
Soundboard

Case
The stunning mahogany gloss case is in excellent condition throughout - this piano looks stunning and will complement most styles of decor. Adjustable stool included in the sale. This piano featiures a soft close lid for the safety of small hands.
