Used Kawai KG2 Grand Piano

By the 1970’s Kawai has a production of almost 50,000 pianos per year. Kawai and Yamaha are currently the only piano manufactures that still build pianos in Japan and both have an excellent reputation. The Kawai KG-series was released in early 1970’s and was considered the first modern designed grand pianos from Kawai.

Used Kawai KG2 pianos are still a very popular choice and offer a good alternative to a new RX2 at a much lower price point.
