Kawai is most well known for solving for the inevitable sticky key over 50 years ago, with the use of ABS Styran in the fabrication of their action parts.

ABS is more than 30 times resistant to swelling than comparable wooden parts and shown to be 50% stronger under fracture load analysis.

Seeing Kawai great innovations, material selection, and incredibly tight tolerances is likely what drew Steinway & Sons attention to the Kawai brand in 1991.

Kawai graciously agreed to help Steinway reach new economic prosperity and agreed to build their new made up line of Boston pianos. For over 30 years Kawai continues to be the main supporting structure that undergirds Steinway’s success.

To view new and preowned Kawai, Yamaha, Steinway, Boston, and Essex baby grand and vertical pianos; visit Dave’s Piano Showroom of Tampa Bay.

Kawai being based in Japan, was perfect for Steinway’s Boston line, but they had to this time select a capable piano manufacturer with an even more affordable labor rate.

For the Essex line Steinway chose Pearl River the world’s largest maker of pianos. Sure you could get a new Pearl River baby grand piano for under $10,000, but it would not have the two conspicuously badged “Designed By Steinway & Sons” logos!

All musicians know it’s the badging placed upon the piano, not the actual piano manufacturer which has the largest impact on the quality  and performance of an instrument….

New this piano sells for over $15,000!  This virtually new one was recently traded for a new Kawai. If you are looking for a like new Steinway, Kawai, Yamaha, Boston or Essex, you will want to visit Dave’s Piano Showroom of Tampa Bay. It is worth the drive from anywhere!

Kawai use of a high grade material, ABS styran which revolutionized and forever changed the piano industry!  Under fracture load analysis Kawai’s flange was shown to be 50% stronger than the traditional wooden action like that found in a Yamaha, Steinway, Boston or Essex. 

Additionally, Kawai’s action was shown in scientific testing to resist swelling and contraction, due to moisture over thirty times better than any of its competitors; making Kawai the clear favorite amongst Florida piano buyers. 

Make Steinway’s choice your choice, choose Kawai!  Since 1991, and every year since Steinway has chosen Kawai to help them build their complete Boston line of pianos.  

Here is a quick thought experiment:

Would Kawai, a company which derives 100% of their annual revenue from manufacturing one product, pianos, agree to build a piano for their chief rival, in a superior fashion?  Of course not!  You guessed it, Steinway’s Boston line has just the standard wood and does NOT have Kawai’s most technologically advanced action! 

A new GL-30 parlor grand piano retails for nearly $35,000. This 5’5” Japanese made parlor grand piano is a remarkable value at just $12,500!

Since 1992 Kawai has been the official builder for Steinway & Sons (Boston line). Steinway selected Kawai due to their long illustrious history and nearly 100 year reputation for constructing high quality pianos.

Since 1927 Kawai has been producing some of the finest pianos the world has ever seen, in Hamamatsu, Japan. Much like Lexus, Kawai does not believe in functional obsolescence, stagnation in design, nor adopts a philosophy of “good enough”.

Kawai has been perfecting the art of piano making for nearly a century; constantly innovating, pushing the envelope and challenging the status quo with their ground breaking designs.

Just as the ivory keytops, materials taken from wildlife proved to be less than an ideal material due to cracking, chipping and discoloration; so too are wooden parts in a piano’s action. Piano designers did absolutely nothing wrong 100, 200, 300 years ago. They utilized the available materials of their time. However, using wood in an action today is as sensible as breeding elephants for the purpose of fabricating keytops.

Kawai’s Millennium III action is a thing of beauty and art in motion. Traditional actions are comprised of thousands of wooden parts. Kawai embraces science and technological advancement in materials and design; thus utilizing carbon fiber, ABS Carbon ABS Styran, and other infinitely superior materials compared to wood.

These components do not flux with temperature change. Not only are they virtually impervious to fluctuations in temperature and humidity; these modern materials are significantly stronger, lighter and yield an action which is unparalleled in its repetition, sensitivity, uniformity and control.

That is of course to say nothing of Kawai’s warm melodic, singing tone. Dave’s Piano Showroom of Tampa Bay is the exclusive Kawai dealer for Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk counties. If you are a resident of one of these counties, visit DPS to receive an additional discount off of the listed price!
