They were sold to a Conservatory, and some of them (not all) has the worst tuning stability in the world. Kawai pianos are not bad, in my opinion, but in the RX serie they tried to save money so the materials are worst: this means poor sound (very damped) in the treble section and they go out of tune each 15 daysñ. (Please, note I´m not saying Kawai Pianos are bad. I´ve got a kawai upright studio: is just some of the RX serie that are not so good, at less the ones that arrived to Spain) I´m afraid, there is no solution but change the piano. Maybe Samick must send a man to inspect the piano and determine if is a manufacturoing problem, as Kawai did and change some of the RX pianos sending them back to Japan.
