Kawai Piano

Kawai could be known as jack of all trades? But master of none may be a thing of the past.

Every year I try the latest Kawai models and every year I think to myself "these pianos are getting better and better".

   
Lets look at a brief run down of Kawai's piano line up:

Digital pianos - Kawai make a complete range of digital pianos from beginner models, to compact space savers, right up to professional all-singing-and-dancing instruments. My personal opinion is that Kawai digital pianos have a soft feel to the keys and the sound is generally too bright and harsh.
Verdict: A long way to go before they start competing with Yamaha or Roland.

Upright pianos - Bright, harsh, don't like them at all. The retail prices of Kawai upright pianos are relatively cheap, but hey! you really do get what you pay for kawai!

Grand pianos - If Kawai is doing SOMETHING right, then it would be the manufacturing of their grand pianos. The concert grands are actually very good but the smaller baby grands still have a hint of that 'harsh' Kawai sound.
