Kawai K-8

[William R. Monroe]

Hi Jeannie,

K8 or UST8?

Never heard of a K8, but UST8's, for the money, are good pianos, IME.  I've 
serviced a number of them, and I don't find any real problems.  In that 
price range, I don't think you can do better, just different (all other 
things being equal, of course).

I'm guessing that first piano is an RX-1?  Just saw one of those last week, 
as well.  Pretty good instrument for the size.

Best,
William R. Monroe
