The Kawai M-500 1141648 Black is a Japanese-made acoustic upright piano from Kawai’s earlier production era, known for its compact design, warm tonal character, and reliable mechanical structure. It is a mid-sized console upright piano designed for home use, teaching practice, and beginner to intermediate players who want an authentic acoustic piano experience at a more accessible level.
Built during Kawai’s traditional manufacturing period, the M-500 features a stable wooden action system (pre-modern Millennium III generation) and a solid spruce soundboard, producing a warm, rounded tone with clear midrange and controlled bass. Its sound is generally softer and more intimate compared to larger studio uprights, making it well-suited for residential spaces.
The polished black cabinet gives it a classic upright piano appearance, while its compact footprint makes it practical for smaller rooms without sacrificing full 88-key acoustic playability.
As a used instrument (serial 1141648), it is typically inspected, tuned, and serviced before sale to ensure playable condition, stable tuning, and consistent key response.
