ABOUT KAWAI
Founded in 1927 by a former Yamaha employee, Kawai is different from most mass-manufacturers in that they do not produce other products: they only make pianos and digital pianos. In today’s new-piano market, our research has shown that Steinway’s Boston & Essex pianos offer significantly better value, but Kawai acoustic pianos make good used purchases, because they are historically known for their consistency and quality control. In general, their tone is warm and their actions are balanced for control.
Premium features.
4 Post Back Frame
If the posts are thick, a 4-post backframe can be solid, but nearly all premium uprights have 5 posts. The back-frame of a piano is responsible in large part for a piano’s longevity and performance later in life. Inspect the back-frame of every upright you consider purchasing, because the thickness of the back-posts will be one of the first indicators of an upright piano’s quality.
Hammers, No Underfelt
This manufacturer did not include under-felt on this piano. Instead, the white hammer felt is glued directly to the wooden hammer-head. Under-felt is a layer of very dense felt that is applied first. This helps the hammer take shape at production and retain shape over years of impact with the strings.
One-Dimensional Soundboard
A one-dimensional soundboard (top) is the same thickness across its width. This piano does not have a tapered soundboard or this manufacturer does not specify whether or not the soundboard is tapered on this model. However, if a piano has a tapered soundboard, it is generally something that a manufacturer would want a shopper to know. All else being equal, a tapered soundboard will provide deeper, richer tone and longer sustain. All Steinway, Boston, and Essex pianos have tapered soundboards.
One-Piece Bridges
Bridges conduct the vibrations from the strings into the soundboard. This piano has bridges made of one piece of wood and may have a maple cap. Most uprights and entry-level grands have one-piece bridges. Nearly all performance grands include vertically laminated bridges to improve tone, sustain, and dynamic range.
Standard Solid Spruce Soundboard
This manufacturer does not publish specifications for the soundboard material for this model beyond the species of wood. Model to model, these soundboards may have variances in grain density, irregularities, knots, or areas where material was cut out and filler material was glued in to take it’s place. We inspect the soundboards of every piano we sell and encourage shoppers to inspect the soundboard of any piano they may consider purchasing to determine the quality of the soundboard material. Steinway soundboards have a minimum of 11 grains-per-inch and our Boston and Essex pianos specify quality with a minimum of 8 grains-per-inch on every piano.
