Kawai is pleased to announce that it has received the Dealer’s Choice Award from Musical Merchandise Review Magazine as “Acoustic Piano Line of the Year” for 2022
This accolade is particularly meaningful as it is based on a survey of music dealers across the country who are among the industry’s most knowledgeable and experienced professionals. The dealers have chosen Kawai as the top acoustic piano brand based on a variety of factors, including quality, value, and overall customer satisfaction.
Over the past 95 years, Kawai has earned a reputation for outstanding quality, workmanship, and innovation in the crafting of world-class musical instruments. The skillful blending of traditional piano craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology has made Kawai one of the most award-winning companies in the music products industry – having received over 55 major international awards for excellence. The 2022 MMR Dealer’s Choice Award, “Acoustic Piano Line of the Year,” is made even more meaningful, considering musical instrument dealers determine the award recipients. The award takes on additional significance as Kawai prepares to celebrate their 60th anniversary in North America.
Kawai has a long history of producing some of the finest pianos in the world, with a focus on craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to detail. Our pianos are built using the finest materials and techniques, and are designed to provide a rich, full-bodied tone that is both expressive and nuanced.
Having now won five MMR “Acoustic Piano Line of the Year” awards speaks volumes to the care, skill, and artistry that goes into every Kawai piano. Among the finest instruments in the world, the expansive line of Kawai pianos is uniquely able to provide the perfect instrument for players of every skill level. In addition, Kawai instruments are used in thousands of universities, houses of worship and performance venues all over the globe.
“We wish to express our most sincere appreciation to the many music retailers for their recognition of Kawai and Shigeru Kawai pianos,” stated Kawai America President, Takanori Aoki. “To be honored by dealers in this way is exceptionally meaningful and gives us great pride and inspiration to serve the music dealer at the highest level possible.”
