The basic quality of these seems to be decent - they tune and perform as well as you would expect a Kawai should. They seem to be on the forefront of Kawai's efforts to cut production costs as much as possible while still retaining basic quality. One of these that we saw here was the first piano I have seen with finger-jointed ribs! Though the ones I have left here don't have them, it seems to me that some that were sold during the sale had the steel framed keybeds too. The only thing that really bothers me about them is the filler blocks at the top. This is the old trick of wrapping a 45" cabinet around a 40" piano. Did Kawai scoop up some of the orphaned Kimball marketing people?
