Kawai RX-A

Hi All,
 
On the way back from the CA conference in Sacramento, I had a job tuning  and 
 doing some light voicing on a Kawai RXA.  I think it's around 10  years old, 
serial number beginning with 241....  
 
The piano is very nicely put together, and sounds, well, powerful, given  
that it is a 6 1/2 foot piano(I think) in a 12 foot squar room.  After  tuning, I 
did a bit of hammer shoe-shining, which really evened out the tone  nicely(no 
need to get out the voicing tool I'd just bought from Jurgen at  Piano Forte 
piano supplies at the conference...:-()  
 
As I had the action on my lap, I was surprised to see no ABS parts.   There 
may have been a flange hidden in  there, but it was not readily  apparent.  The 
owner said that he had been told that the RXAs were  basically prototypes of 
the Shigeru pianos.  
Very interesting instrument, very powerful(especially in a cubicle-sized  
room!).  
 
Don, if you have any info on this piano, I'd be interested in knowing a bit  
more about it.  It certainly didn't seem like a standard production  piano.
 
Also, thanks for the voicing class at the conference, especially the video  
of the restaurant scene....:-).
