Shigeru Kawai SK-7L

When you first sit at the SK-7 and place your hands on the keys, the anticipation of experiencing something truly remarkable is palpable. The Shigeru Kawai SK-7 doesn’t disappoint. The incredible range of expression, the brilliant treble, the resounding bass notes, are just the dawning of your musical adventure. Such is the majesty of the hand-crafted SK-7. Anticipation grows as one approaches the stunning Shigeru SK-7. Its reputation as a truly remarkable instrument, with soaring treble notes and thunderous bass, has been understated. The responsive, lightning-fast action has no peer and as one plays, the piano brings to mind such adjectives as ‘majestic’, ‘inspiring’ and ‘awesome.’

At seven feet six inches, the incredible Shigeru Kawai SK-7 is second only to the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX concert grand in full-bodied tone and exceptional dynamic range. Few other pianos in the world can compare with the robust tone, subtle power and response of the Shigeru Kawai SK-7.
