style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calisto MT";color:blue'>I take care of 4
now, various models but no concert grand, yet. They are my favorite pianos
to service and to play. They are a dream. All of the people who have
bought one originally set out looking at Steinways, Bösendorfer,
etc. To a person, they have each said it was the best piano they played.
One of them is about three years old now and seems to be getting better with
age. I love them. I wish I could own one.</span></font></p>

<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I have a client who is head of the committee to
purchase a piano for their new sanctuary, a very prominent church in
Houston. They are seriously interested in the Shigeru Kawai,
9-foot. She has asked me what technicians have experienced
about the piano. I know there aren't a great number of these, yet, in the
Country, and certainly I would never have seen one, so would appreciate any
enlightenment which could be offered from techs who have worked with them as
well as played. I can be emailed privately at
l-bartlett@sbcglobal.net if comments on-the-list would present difficulties.
I'm a small fish in the huge pond of technicians and the farthest "in the
water" I've been is to regulate her KG-6, and the fact that limited
warranty work I've done for Kawai leaves me feeling they bend over very far to
serve their customers.</span></font></p>
