Kawai CS-40 Upright Piano Ebony Polish

The Kawai CS-40 is a beautifully crafted upright piano, manufactured in Japan and standing at approximately 52″ in height, giving it the tonal presence and projection often associated with larger uprights. This added height contributes to its warm, resonant tone and richly blended timbre, allowing the sound to develop with depth and clarity across the entire keyboard.

Its musical character is inviting and expressive, with a smooth, balanced voice that supports both lyrical passages and fuller, more dynamic playing. The responsive touch encourages nuanced control, making it easy to shape phrases and explore subtle tonal color. Chords sound full and cohesive, while melodies sing with warmth and definition.

Combining elegant design, Japanese craftsmanship, and a refined tonal palette, the Kawai CS-40 is an excellent choice for pianists seeking an upright piano with size, substance, and musical sophistication—an instrument that rewards both careful listening and expressive performance.
