Why Buy a Kawai Piano?

Strong, Fast & Long-Lasting Actions

Kawai Action Parts: ABS-Carbon Grand Piano Wippen Assembly and ABS-Carbon Upright Piano Action

Kawai is one of the world’s most well-known and respected pianos for many reasons. They have been pioneering the use of carbon-fiber actions since the late 1970’s, which result in stronger, faster, and more durable actions.

They still use high-quality felt hammers and hardwood shanks, but a lighter and stronger ABS Styran action to eliminate any wood expanding or contracting due to humidity fluctuations.

Heritage & Quality

Kawai Legacy, History & Heritage

As a Japanese piano, Kawai is often favorably compared to Yamaha pianos. In fact, Koichi Kawai helped start Yamaha pianos before founding Kawai!

Clean Tone & Sound

In terms of sound, they tend to have a remarkably clean, strong sound that is excellent for the most exacting musicians.

Compared to Yamaha, a new Kawai piano tends to be a little brighter. Since a piano sounds warmer as its soundboard matures, this gives Kawai pianos a balanced and desirable tone over the long-run. 

 

Award-Winning Brand & Pianos

Kawai is one of the most awarded music companies around. As of 2014, they’ve won 32 industry awards (edit: now 50+ as of 2024).

Whether grand, upright or digital, all types of Kawai pianos have been recognized for their excellence. Kawai acoustic pianos have even won Piano Line of the Year multiple times — an uncommon feat!
