Experience the exceptional craftsmanship of the Diapason 126S, a professional Japanese upright piano designed by the legendary piano engineer Hankichi Ohashi, whose vision was to create a piano with a rich, European-inspired tonal character while maintaining the precision and reliability of Japanese manufacturing.
The Diapason 126S is highly regarded among piano technicians, teachers, and professional musicians for its warm, resonant sound, responsive touch, and outstanding musical expression. Built in Japan and professionally renewed, this instrument offers a level of performance rarely found in standard upright pianos.
Its 126 cm professional cabinet height provides longer strings and a larger soundboard, producing a deeper bass, richer harmonics, and greater dynamic range than smaller upright pianos.

The 126S is considered a full-size professional upright piano, offering impressive projection and tonal depth while remaining compact enough for homes and teaching studios.
The Diapason 126S is celebrated for its warm, singing tone and rich harmonic complexity. Unlike many bright Japanese pianos, the 126S produces a rounder, more European-style sound with deep bass, expressive mids, and clear treble notes. Many musicians compare its tonal character to higher-end European instruments while benefiting from Japanese reliability and stability.
The piano features a highly responsive action that allows excellent control across all dynamic levels. The touch is balanced and expressive, making it suitable for beginners, advanced students, teachers, and professional pianists. Later Diapason models benefited from Kawai manufacturing expertise, contributing to their durability and consistency.
This piano has undergone professional renewal and preparation to ensure excellent musical and mechanical performance. The process includes detailed inspection, regulation, tuning, voicing, cabinet preparation, and restoration of key components where required.
The Diapason 126S is one of Japan's most respected upright pianos, offering a unique combination of warmth, power, and musical sophistication. For pianists seeking something beyond the typical Yamaha or Kawai sound, the Diapason 126S is an outstanding choice that continues to be admired by musicians worldwide.
