Tone is the rich, resonant sound quality that emanates from a well-crafted piano. A fine instrument should be capable of producing exceptional tone through the full range of musical expression – powerful, delicate, short, long, fast or slow. Whatever the dynamic requirement, the piano must respond with a clear and expressive sound that reflects the player's intentions. Superb tone is the first hallmark of every Kawai grand piano.
The Soundboard
The soundboard is the very heart of the piano's tone. Its purpose is to transform the vibrations of the piano's strings into a beautiful, resonant tone. Kawai uses only straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce for all grand piano soundboards. Each one is tested with state-of-the-art equipment to measure the speed at which sound energy travels through it. Only those soundboards that exceed our demanding resonance standards are selected for use in Kawai grand pianos.
ABS Action Parts
Kawai made history in the early 1970's when we began to introduce piano actions featuring ABS-Styran – a strong, stable material that solved many of the problems associated with wood (most notably, shrinking and swelling) in the fine workings of an action. Over the next two decades, these designs were steadily refined and improved until the unveiling of our "Ultra-Responsive ABS Action" in the 1990's. This action with its intelligent use of ABS Styran and other composite materials, continues to outperform traditional "all wood" actions in the areas of reliability, durability and long-term consistency of touch.
