Kawai GE-1A

Description

At Little Valley Piano Service, we believe every pianist deserves to practice on a truly inspiring piano.  Most buyers are fearful about selecting a piano with unseen problems.  As a piano service business, we began selling “Fully-Serviced Used Pianos” so that you can confidently select a fine piano and enjoy it worry-free for years to come.

A powerful, expressive baby grand piano

This small Kawai grand is stunningly beautiful, musically and aesthetically.  It has a powerful but expressive voice with excellent balance.  The tone is remarkably clear, and it is easy to make a melody soar over a complex harmony.  It’s action is smooth and medium-weight. The polished mahogany finish is in very good condition.  This piano would be great for any piano student or serious pianist, as well as schools, church choir rooms, or other institutional settings. This piano offers a great way to own a very high-performing grand when floor space is at a premium!

In addition to our normal service regimen, this piano has been completely restrung using J. D. Grandt bass strings and hybrid scaling in the treble. The result is an exquisite tone with uncommon evenness from section to section (better than when the piano was new).

We know a piano is meeting our highest standards when we start having secret feelings about being sad to see the piano go.  And this piano has definitely arrived!

• Deep cleaned
