Stepping into my living room, my eyes were immediately drawn to the latest addition – the Kawai Grand Piano Natural. As a pianist of 15 years, instruments aren’t just tools for me; they tell a story. Today, I’d love to share my story with the Kawai Grand Piano Natural.
What is the Kawai Grand Piano Natural?
It’s not just a piano; it’s a symphony of design, functionality, and sound. This miniature grand piano, elegantly carved from wood and furnished with an aluminum pipe audio source, provides a magical experience. Though smaller in size with its 32 keys ranging from F5 to C8, it never compromises on the quality.
The Kawai Grand Piano Natural is a blend of tradition and innovation. It’s meticulously designed, drawing inspiration from the classic grand piano silhouette, and crafted to cater especially to the younger generation. With an action mechanism that allows for expressive play, even light touches by small hands can produce sound. The elegant curves and luxurious look mimic the grandeur of a full-sized grand piano, but with added safety features ensuring durability even in the hands of children. Moreover, the new design is 17.6 oz lighter than its predecessor, making it even more suitable for home use.

A Minor Reservation
