KAWAI The forerunner of today’s full line of Kawai grand and console pianos was manufactured in Japan in 1899. Kawai was founded in 1927 by Koichi Kawai (1886-1955). As a child, he lived next door to Torakusu Yamaha (who had studied watch making under a British engineer) and at the age of 12 helped him build Japan’s first pianos. He worked with Yamaha until the latter’s death in 1927. Kawai then founded the Kawai Musical Instrument Research Laboratory in Hamamatsu. Within a year, Koichi Kawai became the first to design and build a piano action in Japan and just one year later he had built his first grand piano.

Kawai pianos are characterized by their extraordinary consistency of quality. This company dominated the grand piano market for small and medium sized grand pianos, their pianos costing only a third to a half of the equivalent Steinway and achieved a more than respectable presence on the concert platform. Kawai stands out as being not only consistent in quality but also innovative in its use of synthetic materials.
