Shigeru Kawai
"There is no greater demonstration of honor, no greater commitment, than to place one’s name upon the work of one’s hands."
The Legacy of Kawai Pianos
Shigeru Kawai was the successor to Koichi Kawai, the founder of the Kawai Piano Company. Under Koichi Kawai’s guidance, Shigeru Kawai learned the "methods of origin," which emphasized the art of handcrafted piano-making and set the foundation for Kawai’s legacy of excellence.Shigeru Kawai leaves us with a remarkable legacy—the SK Grand Piano Series, a testament to his dedication to craftsmanship and artistry. At Alamo Music, we deeply admire this craftsmanship and are honored to offer the Shigeru Kawai SK Series in our store. These pianos embody artistry, beauty, and precision, and we invite you to experience them firsthand at our downtown location.
