Kawai's factories are in:
Japan: Tobihiramatsu, Tokio, Nagoya, Osaka - places of high end piano production.
Indonesia, Korea and China - places of producing instruments for buyers with less financial potential.
Never-ending mission – perfection.
A dream that came true is the base of the Kawai company. In their offer they have high end pianos that will meet the professional pianists expectations. There are cheaper models as well. Those have competitive prices to other Asian piano makers. Kawai instruments can be found in concert halls, music schools, churches and houses of piano music lovers all over the world.
Based on experience gained through the almost whole century, Kawai engineers still test new materials and technologies. This is the way to achieve the perfection in piano building.
The use of modern technologies and improvements such as:
Millenium III – mechanisms made of carbon fiber and ABS.
Neotex ™ - cellulose fiber covering key
DUPLEX - adds harmonics to enhance sound
Slowly falling keyboard cover
Kawai brand produces not only verticals and grands, but also synthesizers – electronic musical instruments. It allows to generate and modify particular aspects of sound.
Wide range of quality and prices
The founder, Koichi Kawai, as a teenager worked with producing pianos. In 1927 he established his own company. He employed a few of his colleagues. Their common dream was to build a grand piano with their own hands. Thanks to their involvement and consequence they achieved it. But it was just the beginning. The company gradually developed. Its factory in Hamamatsu relased more and more pianos. By the half of the XX century about 500 people worked there. They produced 1500 pianos per year.
After Koichi's death in 1955 the company was took over by his son Shigeru. He was 33 years old then. Being loyal to his fathers ideals he has led to the dynamic development of the company and opened two new factories and established several musical organizations. A way to gain a new market was direct marketing. 2000 employees got new customers. As a result Kawai instruments are exporting to all continents.
Kawai remains a family business to this day. Taken investments to improve production with advanced robotics oscillate around tens of millions of dollars.
