<html> <body> Terry, I checked their web site and couldn't find anything starting with a K. I did a Google search and found this: <div align="center"><h2>Kawai K2 AnyTime Series Upright Piano - Polished Snow White Finish - New For Autumn 2006</h2></div> But that's not a grand. I did check the serial number you gave and their web site said 1970. Maybe Don Mannino will chime in here. I just don't remember ever hearing of any K model grand. I could be wrong, of course. It wouldn't be the first time! :-) Avery At 07:27 PM 7/7/2006, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""> Avery,   I may have assumed to much about this piano being a K2. It says: Kawai K2  then the serial number 479818.  Seems to be a 1970.  Over all it is in very good condition. Belongs to a piano teacher whom I have tuned for for about 7 years.   I have never had any problems with false beats until the last year of so.     Terry <dl> <dd>----- Original Message ----- <dd>From: <a href="mailto:avery1@houston.rr.com">Avery</a> <dd>To: <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech List</a> <dd>Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 5:15 PM <dd>Subject: Re: Kawai K2 grand <dd>Terry, <dd>What is a K2 grand? I've never heard of this model. Is it a fairly old one?
