Description

KAWAI UST-9 INSTITUTIONAL UPRIGHT PIANO

In 2019, Kawai took a major step forward with the introduction of the ST-1 Institutional Piano, the new standard in institutional piano performance that succeeded the popular UST-9.

Like the UST-9, the new ST-1 features the Millennium III Upright Action (with ABS-Carbon parts) that is known for its stable, consistent touch and performance. But the ST-1 goes even farther with longer keys for more consistent touch response, a “Soft Fall” fallboard closing system that protects hands and the piano’s finish from the harm that jarring close might cause, back posts that measure 80mm x 80mm for maximum rigidity and stable tuning, and a 47″ raised music rest that is the longest on any institutional piano.

Try the ST-1 in our showroom at 5800 Richmond Avenue in Houston. You’ll see why the ST-1 has become the preferred choice of schools and colleges.

Features

THE MILLENNIUM III UPRIGHT ACTION

The revolutionary Millennium III Action represents the third evolution of piano touch. It features our exclusive ABS-Carbon™ parts that are incredibly strong and lightweight – properties that allowed our engineers to optimize speed, repetition, power and control. ABS-Carbon parts are resistant to climatic and seasonal changes in temperature and humidity which can cause dramatic shrinking and swelling in conventional wooden parts.

STURDY BACK ASSEMBLY FOR STABILITY

With five powerful back posts each measuring 80mm by 60mm, the UST-9 back assembly stands alone among its peers. Our laminated back post construction offers maximum rigidity that helps to provide enhanced tuning stability for decades of reliable performance.

ANGLED MUSIC REST FOR SUPPORT

The exclusive "raised music rest" provides greater support for printed music and offers additional height at the base to prevent choral music from getting trapped under the front of the piano lid.

REINFORCED BENCH FOR DURABILITY

UST-9 Bench

A stylish reinforcing panel adds tremendous strength and years of useful life to the UST-9 bench, especially in institutional settings.

DOUBLE RUBBER CASTERS

To meet school specifications, the UST-9 is equipped with rugged casters at both the front and the rear of the piano. These casters feature double rubber wheels and double ball bearing construction for easy movement and extreme durability.
