2005 Kawai SK-2 – 5’11” Shigeru Kawai Grand
This is a 2005 Shigeru Kawai SK-2, part of Kawai’s renowned Shigeru line, widely celebrated as the crown jewel of their craftsmanship. At just under 6 feet, the SK-2 offers the perfect balance of concert-level tone and home-friendly size, making it a favorite among discerning pianists who want uncompromising sound without needing a full concert grand.
Built in Japan by Kawai’s most skilled Master Piano Artisans, the SK series is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and premium materials. The result is an instrument with exceptional clarity, warmth, and responsiveness.
This particular SK-2, finished in a classic ebony polish, has been beautifully maintained. Its cabinet gleams, the action plays with smooth precision, and the tone delivers everything you’d expect from a Shigeru: a singing treble, powerful bass, and nuanced control across all dynamics.
Key Features:
5’11” length – ideal size for homes, studios, and intimate performance spaces
Shiko Seion hammers, hand-pressed and voiced for a refined tonal palette
Premium spruce soundboard, selected from the finest slow-grown stock
Longer keys and precision action for effortless control and expression
Built in Japan in 2005 by Kawai’s Master Piano Artisans
MSRP: $81,395 – offered here at exceptional value
Refurbishing & Final Prep:
This piano was professionally refurbished in Japan to an exceptionally high standard, with action work, hammer shaping, string cleaning, and cabinet detailing all handled by a top-tier facility in Hamamatsu. This level of care is part of why we source directly from Japan—it sets a strong foundation.
Once the piano arrives in Seattle, we take that work a step further. Every piano is inspected, regulated, and voiced in our shop to bring it to the highest standard possible. This final stage ensures a consistent, expressive touch and a balanced tone that performs beautifully across all registers.
Includes:
Your choice of brand-new bench (Duet or Adjustable)
10-Year Parts & Labor Warranty
Free nationwide shipping (I cover freight to your nearest vetted piano mover; you only pay the final local delivery charge—typically a few hundred dollars depending on your area)
Complimentary in-home tuning after delivery
