Kawai plastic parts

[piannaman at aol.com]

Cy is right.  The Kawai parts don't become peanut brittle.
 
But all comparisons of plastic aside, many, if not most Kawai grands of that era were using mostly wood parts.  The first plastic parts used were flanges, and then jacks, I believe.
 
Don Mannino is the person that can answer that question the best.

There's NO comparison between the plastic used in spinets in the 50's, and that used fifteen years later.  For more info:

Do 1965 Kawai grand pianos have action with plastic parts?  If so, can the action plastic parts have the same bad condition that American made plastic parts do in spinets?
Thank you
