What makes Kawai pianos so special?
Choosing a Kawai acoustic piano means choosing an instrument where tradition and innovation blend seamlessly. Since its founding in 1927 in Hamamatsu, Japan, Kawai has been known for its pursuit of perfection in both tone and technology. Below you’ll find what makes these pianos so special.
Innovative materials
Kawai is a pioneer in the use of ABS-Carbon and composite materials, notably in the renowned Millennium III action. These materials are stronger and more stable than wood and make the piano less sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. The result: a durable, reliable playing experience year after year.
Japanese craftsmanship
As a family-owned company, Kawai combines traditional craftsmanship with the most modern technology. Every instrument is built with meticulous attention to detail and precision, resulting in a finish and reliability praised worldwide. Warm and rounded tone Kawai pianos are distinguished by their warmer, rounder sound, often in contrast to Yamaha’s brighter character. This singing, lyrical tone appeals to pianists seeking expressivity and musicality.
Mechanism and touch
The innovative Millennium III action delivers unmatched precision, stability, and responsiveness. Pianists experience a natural playing feel and a touch they can fully trust—both for practice and for stage performance.
A wide range
Kawai’s lineup runs from affordable upright pianos in the K Series to the prestigious Shigeru Kawai concert grands. In every segment, quality, durability, and musicality take center stage, so there’s a suitable model for every pianist.
Durability and reliability
Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and innovative technology, Kawai pianos are less sensitive to wear and environmental conditions. This makes them a reliable choice for pianists who want to play for years with complete peace of mind.
