40-inch Kawai Piano in Cherry finish.

  This piano is an economical well-built musical instrument that will offer decades of musical enjoyment to the new owner. Structurally it is sound and aesthetically in very good condition. Its condition is attributable to the modest amount of playing time it has received. It has lived here in Albuquerque for most of its life so it is happily acclimated and fully adjusted to our unique climate. The Kawai console piano is known to be reliable and virtually maintenance free so we will be happy to offer a two year warranty. The original bench with storage is included. We also include professional first-floor, local delivery.

We had to do very little in the way of service in our 88 Keys Restoration shop; tightening of the action screws, setting the strings, some minor regulating and then a concert tuning. Rather than a simple key cover, this model sports a two-piece Boston fallboard that closes easily and will not scratch the sides of the cabinet. The finish is a traditional satin lacquer light-toned cherry. The cabinet style is Italian Provincial. The music rack is stylish and there is a sturdy music desk designed for heavy music books or long musical scores. It has a warm, rich wood appearance.

Renowned for their expressive tone and dynamic range that allow pianists to communicate with ease, this Kawai piano plays expressively, accurately and smoothly – like a warm knife through butter. The tone is European-inspired and mellow; not nearly as bright as some other Japanese-manufactured models. Many classical musicians own a Kawai piano as a low-cost alternative to an expensive Steinway & Sons or European model. It has a warmth that is very pleasant. The duration of tone is lengthy and lends itself to classical music. The treble has a nice singing quality. The bass response is excellent given the size of the scale. The overall tone quality is balanced across the compass of the keyboard. This piano if expressive and a joy to play.
