Shigeru Kawai SK-5L Grand Piano Polished Ebony

C31-SK5LEP

If you’ve been searching for a stunning piano that offers the perfect fusion of robust tone, power and presence, look no further than the Shigeru Kawai SK-5 Chamber Grand piano. Hand-crafted by our Master Piano Makers from the very best materials, no other piano in this class can compare.

The SK-5 is the third piano in the Shigeru Kawai series and is the perfect choice for stately homes, professional venues and intimate recital spaces. The series is an exceptional range of concert musical instruments inspired by the designs of the company’s founder, Koichi Kawai.

Description

The Shigeru Kawai SK5 model offers a gratifying mélange of beauty and sound quality that enriches a range of studios, professional venues and intimate recital spaces. Few other pianos of its class possess the same quality of materials as the Shigeru Kawai SK-5. A solid spruce soundboard and underside beams of spruce imbue the piano with its magnificent tone. So does the synergy of large and small pore hardwoods used in the Konsei Katagi rim.

The Shigeru Kawai SK-5 also boasts mahogany hammer moldings and a maple bridge.

A Shigeru piano is much more than the intelligent application of material, labor and design. It is an art form born not from the head, but from the heart. Thus, the craftsman does far more than simply “build” it—he brings it to life.

SHIGERU KAWAI STORY
About Shigeru Kawai

Shigeru Kawai was born on July 28, 1922 in the Shizuoka Prefecture of Japan. He entered the piano business as a young man in 1946. Although he was a member of the Kawai family, Shigeru spent his early years learning the piano building process as a regular worker. He put in long hours laboring diligently in the manufacturing area, sometimes sleeping overnight in the factory as an expression of his dedication to the craft. He loved the work so much that, in later life, he would often remark, “Creating pianos was the greatest job I ever had!”
“Koichi taught Shigeru the “methods of origin” by which pianos are built entirely by hand. He would often say, “As long as you are building pianos, you should strive to build the finest ones in the world.” Shigeru listened attentively to Koichi’s every word.”
