For the inner rim, small-pored hardwoods that provide superior brightness and projection are interlaminated with dense, large-pored hardwoods offering warmth and fullness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMPA CRAFTSMANSHIP\u003cbr\u003eNo other piano goes through such expert hands. From the moulding of the rim to the final polish, every Shigeru Kawai SK-2 is the culmination of hundreds of hours in the hands of our Master Piano Artisans.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSHIKO SEION HAMMERS\u003cbr\u003eThe name translates to “ultimate voicing.” Shiko Seion hammers are exclusive to Shigeru Kawai pianos, each hand-pressed without heat and voiced without artificial hardeners to ensure outstanding dynamic response and expression.​\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKIGARASHI AGED SOUNDBOARD\u003cbr\u003eThe custom-tapered soundboard in a Shigeru piano is made exclusively from the finest spruce, aged by the traditional kigarashi process to attain a state of natural balance, and giving Shigeru pianos their uniquely rich tonal quality.​\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTEMAKI HAND-WOUND BASS STRINGS\u003cbr\u003eWinding wire around the core bass strings requires highly-refined skills.

One example, originally developed for our Shigeru Kawai Ex Concert Piano, is the unique dual-pivot damper design that allows smoother half-pedal control for delicate tonal expression.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSpruce Beams\u003cbr\u003eSpruce is known for its outstanding ability to conduct and conserve sound energy. However, it is generally considered too precious for use as a structural material. For the Shigeru pianos, all of the underside beams are made entirely of the highest quality spruce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWidth: 152cm\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 102cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 180cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 324kg\u003cbr\u003eBeams: 3\u003cbr\u003eMillennium III action: yes\u003cbr\u003eHammers: Mahogany, underfelted \u003cbr\u003eKey surfaces: Neotex\u003cbr\u003eAgraffes: 1st - 54th keys\u003cbr\u003eCasters: Brass, double\u003cbr\u003eLid props: 3\u003cbr\u003eMade in: Japan\u003cbr\u003eColours available: Ebony Polish\u003cbr\u003eWarranty: 12 years\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kawai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431148777565,"sku":"935023000295","price":84550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/sk2_main.png?v=1778348597","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/kawai-sk2l-grand-piano-ebony-polish","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
