Kawai has built some of the world’s finest pianos since 1927, in Japan. So impressed with Kawai build quality Steinway chose Kawai to head up their Boston piano building project in 1991. To this day Kawai still assist Steinway in manufacturing their Steinway’s Boston line of pianos.

Kawai is well known for their actions, which lead the industry in innovation. Kawai’s ABS Styran actions resistant moisture, and swelling 30 times better than a comparable wooden action! Sticky keys are a result of moisture in a piano action. Using ABS, eliminates expansion and contraction to a point of being problematic.

If we expose a wooden action to 90 to 100% humidity for a short time, it will swell by roughly 5% in size. In contrast, an ABS action will only swell by .16%. Thus, Kawai’s actions are more than 30 times resistant to swelling then comparable wooden parts!

Additionally, under fracture load analysis we find that an ABS flange breaks at 102.5 pounds. A wooden flange breaks at 61.2 pounds. This results in a 50% stronger material used by Kawai.

There are several other industry leading techniques and materials which Kawai uses in the fabrication of their actions. Kawai uses five action brackets, instead of four (Yamaha uses 4). Kawai’s action bracket is an F type rather than an L type, resulting in more rigidity. Kawai uses a carbon composite blackjack, which is 2.5 times stronger than a wooden jack and never requires lubrication. Kawai uses exclude, aluminum rails and an insuliner strip which locks the flange in place. Kawai uses a machine threaded screw with a washer and lock tight washer, rather than a sheet metal screw, with no washers to secure the flange to the action rail. This is just a few points, which makes Kawai king in the realm of actions.

Visit Dave’s Pianos of Tampa Bay to see a side-by-side comparison of the above mentioned differences between Kawai and Yamaha actions.
