Kawai Pianos

"The Future of the Piano"

K. Kawai Pianos made by The Kawai Musical Instruments Manufacturing Co. Ltd is a company based in Japan who manufactures pianos as well as other musical instruments. Kawai is renowned all over the world for their signature grand and upright pianos, electronic keywords, and electronic synthesizers. The company was founded in 1927 by Koichi Kawai, and since then, they have been headquartered in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan.

Kawai Piano Line

Kawai pianos are renowned not only for the quality music they produce but also for the durable yet stylish materials the pianos are made from. The action in Kawai pianos is made from synthetic polymer material, instead of the traditional wood rod material. Early Kawai piano action editions were made of styran plastic, although it eventually progressed to a more sophisticated carbon fiber action. This choice of material kept the pianos from swelling, especially when humidity is high, thus lengthening the life of the piano. An overview of the various grand piano models the company offers can be found, here:

Synthesizers

Kawai started manufacturing synthesizers at the start of the 1980s under the brand name Teisco. These instruments were all analog and among the models carried in this line included 60F, 110F, 100F, 100P, SX-210, SX-240, and SX-400. There was a point when Kawai ceased using the Teisco brand; that is why products were either labeled Teisco or Kawai. Later developments eventually yielded the Kawai KC-10 and KC-20, which were renowned simplistic PCM synthesizers. Before the company was able to release THE K5000X model, which featured the combination of the S and W models, the company stopped producing synthesizers after sales slipped.

The Kawai company history can be found HERE on their website.

Is kawhi better than Steinway?

Re: Kawai vs Shigeru Kawai vs Steinway - Shigeru Kawaii has better action than the Steinway and much better quality control / consistency between pianos. - I prefer the sound and lower register of the Steinway. Sound feels deeper in the bass and seems to resonate longer/farther.

future_maestro is quite correct, in my humble opinion -- but I would add that when you get up in the range of pianos he (and presumably we on this thread!) are talking about, it is far more important that you, the player, really like the way your instrument plays. The name on the fallboard is far less important than the fact that you yourself love the instrument, and that it fits well into both the music you play and the space you play it in. Furthermore, if you are thinking of spending that kind of money on a piano, is there any reason to not take the time to play a variety of instruments (unless you happen to know that you like or dislike a specific name; there are some which have rather strong "personalities" -- Bosendorfers tend to be bright; Steinways tend to have slightly heavier actions; etc.)? You would take the time if you were buying a house, surely. A piano in the class we are talking about is not a commodity! And, oddly, the higher grade the piano is, the more likely it is that there will be subtle (but very important!) variations from instrument to instrument within the same make and model, never mind between different models or makes. It is relatively easy to turn out a very good piano the same way every time -- but at the superb top end, each instrument is a work of art, and no two are alike, or can be.
