Kawai K-8

[donmannino at ca.rr.com]

Jeannie,

The K-8 is almost the same internally as the K-80 it replaced.  The action was updated to the carbon fiber, and the cabinet was streamlined a little.  It is still the same scale as before, has agraffes in the bass and tenor, and has a full sostenuto center pedal (the muffler rail is actuated with a hand lever under the keybed).

It is Kawai's finest upright piano.

Hello everyone, (sorry for the duplication to both lists)
I've had an inquiry about a Kawai K-8 and have never seen or serviced one.  
Can anyone give me any feedback on what they are like and if there is a
better choice of piano in that price range?  This is for a 2nd piano in a
teacher's studio.  First piano is a very nice Kawai R-1.  Thanks much,
jeannie
