KAWAI Pianos: Endless Excellence!

“At Kawai, the quest for perfection is not just an ideal… but a duty.” − Hirotaka Kawai, the president of the Kawai Music Corp. in Japan Kawai was founded in 1927 by Koichi Kawai, a gifted piano craftsman, in Hamamatsu, Japan. Kawai, being one of the most popular piano brands with 40+ years of proven performance and longevity in the North-American ClassicPianoCentre.com-Kawai-Grand-Pianomarket, earned a reputation for long-term, stable performance even in heavy-use situations. Many piano instructors agree that Kawai is the one of best pianos for performance and practicing. These state of the art pianos are famous for their lower-tension design that emphasizes depth of tone. For this reason bass notes of Kawai pianos are deeper and treble notes are softer. Pianists who enjoy this type of tones find that with Kawai, be it new or used Kawai piano, they can produce a very lyrical, intimate sound. Moreover, the Kawai action is designed and balanced for control. Increased resistance on the down-stroke gives the player the ability to reach a whisper-soft pianissimo playing. A faster return may give advanced players an edge for trills and passages that require quickly executed repetitive notes. Just focusing on the production of only pianos, Kawai has all the benefits comparing to any other piano brands. It is likely that no other company in the world has dedicated more research toward piano action design. Kawai has pioneered the use of space-age plastics and carbon-fiber materials in piano action. Two words – Endless Excellence!!!
