THE IMPORTANCE OF THE NAME
In Japan, one will rarely see a product of any kind labeled with the complete name of its originator. While most brands feature a last name (such as Honda or Toyota), the use of both first and last names is reserved only for “handmade artisan products” that are characterized by impeccable quality. Using both names imposes an incredible burden of responsibility on the creator. Shigeru Kawai knew this when he gave his full name to his pianos. Each Shigeru Kawai instrument is a living emblem of his passionate fifty-year commitment to the art of the piano and an intimate expression of personal honor.
A UNIQUE VISIT
One of the most compelling aspects of acquiring a Shigeru Kawai piano was born of Shigeru’s decision to use both his first and last names for his instruments. To preserve his personal honor and fulfill his duty to the ultimate owner, he sends one of his elite Master Piano Artisans from Japan to the home or studio of the purchaser to perform a concert-level tuning, voicing and regulation within the first two years of ownership. This extraordinary expression of commitment has never been offered in the history of the piano industry. It vividly demonstrates the spirit of personal devotion found in every Shigeru Kawai instrument.
