Kawai is recognized globally for manufacturing pianos that offer a consistent touch and a distinctively warm tone. At Piano Traders, we provide a range of Kawai instruments that suit both educational and professional requirements.
History of Kawai Pianos
Kawai Musical Instruments was established in 1927 by Koichi Kawai in Hamamatsu, Japan. As an engineer, Koichi Kawai focused on the technical development of the piano action, a tradition that has continued through three generations of family leadership.
Kawai is notable for its use of modern materials in piano construction. They pioneered the use of ABS Composites and Carbon Fiber in their Millennium action series. These materials are more stable than traditional wood when exposed to changes in humidity and temperature, leading to improved durability and tuning stability over time. Today, Kawai is a standard choice for music schools and performance venues worldwide.
