Kawai K8 Feature #1845036 02/15/12 06:36 AM

OP Rafterman Full Member R Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 407 New York	Do current Kawai K8 models have a "Practice" lever since their middle pedal is a Sustenuto? Is this an option or is it standard? The website and brochure are not clear on this. When ordering a K8 are there any options available? (Example: Can you choose to NOT have the Sustenuto pedal?) I saw a post on here where a person returned a K8 because of some Sustenuto pedal issue. He stated it was going to be his intention to get a K8 without one. I thought this odd and not a factory option. Are practice levers on this model an after factory item? Thanks!

All K-8 pianos have a muffler function operated by a lever under the left side of the keyboard. I hope this helps. Don Mannino RPT, MPA
