Konzert K230 Tradition – Grand Piano

Call for Price

The K230 has received rave reviews from a number of music critics. Mathieu Papadiamandis from Le Monde de la Musique, reviewed the K230 Tradition and stated,

“The overall tone of the instrument is rich and extremely well-balanced. All tonal registers are convincing in their individual characteristics: the treble range is clear and brilliant with ho hint of aggressiveness. The medium range displays a wide palette of tonal colour which opens natural melodic possibilities. The bass range has a pleasant and open tonal colour with excellent power reserves. The action is faultless. Despite the somewhat light touch which enables a good tonal control, the repetition is excellent. The tonal power of this model must also be highlighted. The extraordinary width of its soundboard doubtlessly plays a prominent role here.”
