The 5’5” Kawai RX1 is a beautifully balanced grand piano that offers impressive tonal depth and a highly responsive touch in a more compact size. Ideal for homes, studios, and teaching environments, the RX1 features Kawai’s renowned ABS grand action, which delivers outstanding consistency, durability, and control compared to traditional all-wood actions. Additional refinements such as Neotex key surfaces, mahogany-core hammers, a soft-close fallboard, and robust cabinet construction further enhance the playing experience and long-term reliability.

Built in 2006 at Kawai’s Hamamatsu, Japan factory, this RX1 has been well cared for and remains musically vibrant, with a warm, singing tone and an articulate, even touch. Finished in classic ebony polish, it presents elegantly and timelessly. With the current equivalent GX1 commanding a significantly higher price, this RX1 represents an excellent opportunity for a student, teacher, or advancing pianist seeking a premium Japanese grand piano at a more accessible cost.

Since 1927, Kawai has pursued a singular goal: building the perfect piano. This dedication to innovation, craftsmanship, and musical excellence has resulted in some of the finest acoustic pianos produced in Asia. Kawai’s Japanese-made upright and grand pianos are especially respected in both the new and used markets for their exceptional performance, reliability, and value. The RX Series grands—predecessors to today’s GX models—are a prime example of this legacy.
