What is the best piano for me?

The "best" piano is highly subjective — every pianist plays differently, has different needs, and pursues different musical goals. A piano ideal for a classical concert performer may not suit a jazz musician, and a piano perfect for a professional may be overpowered in a small living room.

Before selecting a piano, consider: the amount of physical space in your home, your budget, the level and style of music you wish to play, how often the piano will be played, whether you will be recording, whether you need to transport it, and the aesthetic qualities that matter most to you.

Visit a Kawai dealer and play a variety of models from different series, sizes, and types. Pay close attention to how the piano feels under your fingers (the "touch") and whether the tone resonates with you emotionally. The right piano will inspire you to play more often.
