Kawai says: Music, the highest of fine arts, is the sound of the soul. Music comes from deep within us and excites the emotions. The universal language of music is shared by all people. Music transcends the ages and communicates to the heart. We recognise that a fine musical instrument is essential to faithfully translate artistic impressions. It is through the musical instrument that the artist touches the heartstrings. Koichi Kawai, our founder, dreamed of building the world_s finest piano.
