Kawai ES-520 (white)

The visionary spirit of Koichi Kawai, our founder, laid an ambitious foundation stone and is the main reason why the name Kawai has been synonymous with innovation since 1927. Always searching for new materials and technologies that improve sound, feel, stability and value, Kawai was the first to pave the way for the greatest number of innovations in the piano industry. These include aluminium action parts, slow-closing keyboards, specially hardened music stands and of course the revolutionary use of ABS carbon for keyboard action. The passion for innovation also applies to electronic musical instruments. Kawai produced the first digital piano with keys made entirely of wood - as well as the first keyboard that was a true replica of a grand piano action, the first integrated CD recorder and the first digital piano with a real wood soundboard as a speaker replacement. In this never-ending development we see our challenge according to our motto - the future of the piano.
