Description: Kawai is one of the famous Japanese Piano builders who specialize in fine craftsmanship and a warm rich tone in their pianos. Favored by conservatories and teachers around the world, Kawai has created their reputation based on their deep understanding of European piano building and partnerships with famous makers like Ibach and now Steinway. Kawai builds the Boston Pianos for Steinway and this endorsement should say enough about their quality of manufacture. This piano was manufactured new in mid-1981 and was made in the Hamamatsu factory in Japan. The comparable new model is the 6'1" RX-3 that lists for over $40,000. This piano was extremely well-cared for and was owned by a family in Florida for their second home. The Grand Supreme series was the precursor of the RX series although the RX is a combination of the old KG and the GS series. The piano was the finest made at the time and has better materials and workmanship than found today. The hammers on this piano feature special felt to create a warm, rich tone. Voiced in the German manner, this piano easily sounds like a fine German instrument like a Feurich, Ibach, Seiler or Bluthner. Fantastic value in a world class piano!!
