All 88 keys, then every pedal — recorded on the actual instrument you would receive.
All 88 keys, then every pedal — recorded on the actual instrument you would receive.
Most dealers post a photograph and a paragraph. We play every one of the 88 keys in sequence, test all three pedals, and finish with the same short piece on every instrument — recorded in one room, through the same two microphones, at settings that never move.
A dead note, an uneven bass or a slow damper becomes something you hear for yourself, rather than something you take on trust.
Every recording is of the actual instrument you would receive — never a stock clip of the same model. 88 keys, 88 inspection points, nothing left out.
Japanese-built uprights and grands, restored and regulated, each one inspected point by point before it is listed.
The full Kawai range, from the ES120 to the Novus hybrids — delivered, unboxed and set up in the room you want it in.
Every acoustic piano is examined against the same eighty-eight checks — soundboard, bridges, pinblock, action geometry, hammers, dampers, case and finish. A Registered Piano Technician signs the report with their own name, and you read it before you decide, not after it arrives.
No piano leaves this building with a condition described only in adjectives.
