A Rare Opportunity: As-New Condition Kawai K200
We are thrilled to present this Kawai K200, an instrument that offers a truly unique opportunity for the discerning buyer. High-quality, late-model Kawai pianos like this rarely appear on the secondhand market, as most owners keep them for a lifetime. This particular piano was originally purchased from Millers and has had only one careful owner from new.
The condition of this instrument is nothing short of extraordinary. It has been so meticulously cherished that the protective plastic is still present on two of the three brass pedals, as well as on the hinges inside the piano lid. It is, for all intents and purposes, a showroom-condition instrument at a significant secondhand saving.
The Kawai K200: A Professional Step-Up
While the Kawai K15 is a fantastic entry-point, the Kawai K200 represents a significant technical and musical step-up. It is the first model in the range to incorporate Kawai’s most advanced professional features, making it the preferred choice for students reaching higher grades and serious hobbyists alike.
-
Millennium III Action: Unlike the entry-level K15, the Kawai K200 features Kawai’s flagship Millennium III action with ABS-Carbon components. This carbon-fibre-infused technology allows for a lighter, faster, and more responsive touch that is impervious to the "sticking" caused by household humidity.
-
Mahogany Core Hammers: Usually reserved for high-end European pianos, the Kawai K200 utilises mahogany hammer cores. Mahogany is lighter and more resilient than standard maple, providing a faster "bounce" off the string and a much warmer, more complex tonal palette.
-
Tapered Solid Spruce Soundboard: The Kawai K200 soundboard is strategically tapered to maximise its resonance, delivering a depth of bass and a singing sustain that far exceeds the capabilities of smaller, entry-level models.
Design & Aesthetic: The "Classic" Silhouette
The Kawai K200 is a visual upgrade as well as a musical one. While many compact pianos use a simple "continental" (legless) design, the Kawai K200 features a stunning traditional cabinet with legs and toes.
-
Architectural Presence: The addition of the pedestal legs and front toes gives the piano a stately, balanced profile that looks at home in both modern and traditional interiors.
-
Polished Black & Brass: The mirror-like black finish is perfectly offset by polished brass hardware. This is the quintessential piano aesthetic, providing a focal point of luxury and elegance in any room.
-
Soft-Close Fallboard: The K200 also features a high-end "soft-fall" lid, protecting both the piano and young fingers—a premium touch that underlines the quality of the K-series
Provenance & Preparation
Because this instrument was originally supplied and maintained by our own senior technicians, its history is fully documented and transparent. Since returning to us, it has undergone a final, rigorous round of checks and preparation to ensure it meets our exacting standards. It represents the perfect alternative to a brand-new piano for someone looking for uncompromised quality and "Millers" peace of mind.
The Perfect Partner: Personalising with Hidrau Madrid
An instrument of this calibre deserves a seating solution that matches its engineering and longevity. This is why we exclusively recommend pairing the Kawai K200 with a Hidrau Madrid stool and have shown it with various options here.
Widely regarded as some of the finest piano stools in the world, Hidrau stools are manufactured in Spain with a commitment to both luxury and responsibility, using only sustainably forested, FSC-certified hardwoods.
The Madrid model is our most popular choice because it allows you to truly personalise your piano to match your home’s unique style. You can customise the look with a variety of high-quality tops:
-
Premium Real Spanish Leather: For a classic, sophisticated feel that aged beautifully alongside the polished mahogany.
-
Plush Velvet: Available in a range of colours to add a soft textural contrast or a bold pop of colour to your music room.
By selecting a Hidrau stool, you aren't just buying a seat; you are investing in an ergonomically designed, rock-solid companion that is built to stand the test of time, ensuring your comfort during hours of practice.
