Shigeru Kawai SK-2L

The Shigeru Kawai SK2 Classic Salon Grand Grand Piano is a handcrafted masterpiece and the first model in Shigeru Kawai’s premium line of grand pianos. While it may be the smallest piano in the SK showroom, at almost six feet in length it rivals any premium piano of its class with piano with a superb richness of tone and timeless design.

As with any Shigeru Kawai piano, the SK-2 is handcrafted with exquisite premium components, hand-assembled by our Master Piano Artisans. The SK-2 benefits from a solid spruce soundboard, mahogany hammer moldings and a maple bridge. All of the SK-2’s massive underside beams are crafted using the finest spruce, despite most piano builders using lesser materials.
