kawai pianos (specifically the US-60)

[anetamrzyglod]

So tomorrow I'm having a look at a second hand Kawai US-60, as a beginner I don't know too much about piano specifications. It seems like it's been maintained in the photos. However I'm just wondering a few things about Kawai pianos. Firstly, are they good for a student? Tonally, what do they generally sound like? And will this piano last me all my exam grades?(1-8)

Also, what about the Kawai US-60 in particular. I haven't seen much online, but if you know much about the US series.. feel free to share..

This video will tell you more about these model pianos than I can. Just keep in mind that otherwise it's relative to condition of the one you are looking at. Obviously we don't know the condition of the one you are looking at. Here is the link : https://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Kawai+US+60+video&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz35

Edit:
Just thought I'd mention that Kawai as a brand is well respected. While  a relatively new product line in the US compared with old names here, they have been around in Japan since the early 1900's. They have gotten more innovative in recent years but most of their pianos have been well regarded, even their latest digital offerings which have won awards world wide for design features, tonality and also acoustic like feel on some models.

Koichi Kawai began his piano business in 1927.  Not quite as early as stated above.

Kind regards,
