CONCERT AGRAFFES

The purpose of the Concert Agraffes goes beyond mere aesthetics. Each one serves a crucial function: they provide precise positioning of the strings, a factor that significantly influences the piano's overall tonality. The meticulous machining of the agraffes from billet brass rods guarantees an exceptional level of precision, allowing each string to be accurately positioned. This precise alignment ensures that each string vibrates optimally, contributing to a clear, resonant, and powerful tone that is characteristic of Shigeru Kawai Grand Pianos.Despite being a small component of the piano's complex structure, the importance of the Concert Agraffes cannot be overstated. The process of machining them individually from billet brass rods speaks volumes about our commitment to excellence. It reflects our belief that every detail, no matter how small, plays a part in creating the perfect sound. It is this meticulous approach to piano crafting that sets Shigeru Kawai Grand Pianos apart and enables them to deliver an unparalleled musical experience, characterized by a remarkably clear and powerful tone.

EXTENDED KEYSTICKS

Each keystick in these grand pianos is purposefully extended in length. This is not a mere aesthetic modification, but a deliberate design choice aimed at making playing the piano more comfortable and intuitive. The extended length facilitates an even touch, ensuring a consistent response whether the pianist strikes at the front or the rear of the key. This uniformity greatly enhances the playing experience, allowing for seamless execution of demanding musical passages and facilitating a more expressive performance.

The keysticks of the Shigeru Kawai Grand Piano are also uniquely designed with a taller profile. While this may seem like a subtle design modification, it has a significant impact on the piano's performance and the player's experience. The taller profile gives the keysticks greater strength, thereby increasing their durability and longevity. But it's not just about the keysticks' lifespan; the enhanced strength offers a more resilient and responsive touch. This results in improved performance, allowing pianists to express their musicality with more precision and control, further testament to Shigeru Kawai's commitment to delivering pianos of unrivaled quality and responsiveness.
