A grand piano instrument consists of over nine-thousand precision parts, crafted from fine woods , rigid metals, soft fibres, compound resins, and countless other natural and man-made materials. Simply assembling each component into the mere form of a grand piano is, in itself, an immense undertaking.
Yet the process of crafting such raw materials into a precision instrument, that is capable of expressing the emotional subtleties of the human soul, an instrument that illuminates grand concert halls, leaving audiences enchanted, and an instrument that truly sings with a unique voice all of its own...such a process requires a passionate quest for excellence, with generations of knowledge and expertise.
At Kawai, this process is fittingly regarded as "the art of the piano"
