K500 anyone

[bartgovaert]

Has anyone played the newish Kawai K500? I need to upgrade our current piano (Kawai K2) and I generally like the Kawai sound/action.

If you have played on of them, would you recommend? Are they a clear improvement on the K3/K5?

I am planning to play around a bit at Jaques Samuel but I have not had the time yet.

Thanks

According to Kawai information, the K-500 has a newly redesigned scale and the full Millenium III action. As pianos are variable, even within the same make and model, I think that your best option is to try them at Jaques Samuels and decide for yourself. Kawai have an excellent reputation for consistent quality and customer support.

Regards,

Robert.

of the customers and to us as the servicing technicians.
Where are you in the UK?

Vernon, I am in London. A store (outside London) has offered me a part exchange: K500 for 4.5k + the K2 (which is in quite good shape). It seems like a good deal but still quite a bit of money. I have tried to sell the K2 myself but no luck.
