Don,

One of my favorite Kawais was a model 600 from around the same vintage as 
yours.  The owners kept it in mint condition until they had to trade it for a 
smaller instrument.  It outplayed many of the Steinways we had in the store at 
the time.  It even had one piece ivories, as I recall (not necessarily PC, but 
an interesting feature).
