"The World's Most Precise Piano action"

ABS-Carbon
 
For the Millennium III Action, Kawai scientists developed a new material called AB S_Carbon, created by the infusion of carbon fibre into ABS material. ABS-Carbon is incredibly strong and light weight-properties that moved Kawai to make the action parts lighter without sacrificing strength. The lighter design makes the Millennium III Upright Action exceptionally fast and effortless. The repetition and ease of playing is superb.
 
Micro-Engineer Design
 
The Millennium III action features several core components that are redesigned with lighter mass and structural enhancements to optimize speed, repetition and control. Every exact detail of the action was analyzed and adapted to create an intimate interface between the artist and music. While the key weight is comparable to most other high-end upright actions, the ease of expression is extraordinary.
 
In a few words, the engineers reasoned that the parts must be made stronger before they could be made lighter. The infusion of carbon fiber into ABS increases the strength of material by 90% Additional power was a natural byproduct of adding carbon fibre to ABS material. In short, the player is able to produce more power with less effort. It also gives better control and offers the player unparalleled control for pianissimo playing.
