<BR>David,
<BR>
<BR>I service alot of Kawais. For the money, I think the k18 and=
k25 are decent instruments. I service dozens of them and have few pro=
blems. They play evenly and tune nicely and are usually a tad less har=
sh sounding than the lower end Yamahas. Regulation is usually decent o=
ut of the box, though they almost inevitably arrive in the showroom sharp. &=
