Kawai ST-1 193028

The ST-1 Institutional Piano is a powerhouse performer for institutional settings. Its exclusive Millennium III Upright Action features ABS-Carbon parts that are incredibly strong and lightweight -- properties that allowed our engineers to optimize speed, repetition, power and control. Its five sturdy back posts measure 80mm x 80mm for maximum rigidity and stable tuning. The 47" raised music rest is the longest on any institutional piano -- perfect for sheet music that extends laterally. Longer keys provide more consistent touch response. A stylish reinforced bench is made to last longer than conventional benches. And its "Soft Fall" Fallboard closing system protects hands and the piano's finish from the harm that jarring close might cause. With all these valuable attributes and many more, the ST-1 is the ultimate blend of performance and durability.

--- About Kawai ---
Kawai pianos are made by Kawai Musical Instruments Manufacturing Co., Ltd., founded in Hamamatsu, Japan in 1927 by inventor Koichi Kawai — the first person to design and build a complete piano action in Japan. Three generations of the Kawai family have led the company since. Kawai — a former apprentice to Torakusu Yamaha — founded Kawai with a singular belief: that exceptional pianos should be within reach of every musician. Three generations later, that founding conviction still guides every instrument they build, marrying traditional Japanese craftsmanship with relentless scientific curiosity.

Kawai is the choice of conservatories, concert halls, and competition winners worldwide. Its flagship Shigeru Kawai concert grands serve as official instruments of the International Tchaikovsky Competition and are performed at the Chopin Competition.
