hi Babyloneden ,

can you tell me the KAWAI piano's model made in china you mentioned ? thanks

now in china ,just Parson's Music produce KAWAI piano,and the model is KU serise ,exmP: KU-A1 KU120P,and ...you can check them on our web: www.kawaiyc.com,all the model are Upright.

by the way ,BeiJing not produce KAWAI piano anymore,since July

and turandot,a Kawai employee working inside the Pasons production,I am employee working in Parson's Music,thanks

chen, we have kx series that the distributor said is coming from hsinghai. so it means that since july kx is no longer produce by hsinghai but parson or if kawai decided to manufacture the kx in their indonesia plant now instead?

Jay,I think you are confused

in china ,Parson's produce KU serise,and before JUly,Beijing produce NK and KC serise,None of them were produced in ShangHai

chen, ops i thought Hsinghai (Xinghai) Beijing Piano Group Ltd. was the company making for Kawai(as per pianobuyer.com)?

maybe the model differ from country to another. this is the local distributor weblink, the model KX-21 http://www.kawaimalaysia.com/eAsia2...se/item.jsp?compid=1849&itemid=12961

any idea where will the KX be produce now?

ok i see
Hsinghai Xinghai ,haha ,I understand now
kx is no longer produce by hsinghai ,and Kx serise no produce anymore ,it's a history ,it's end

As mentioned, the KX 21 series also was. It's a bit ironic that one of our past customers did not want to own a piano "made in China" but then bought one of these models instead...ha

Can you tell us why Kawai are reportedly no longer built by Beijing and now only exlusively by Parsons?

Having my own hunch - guessing it's all just 'good'ol business'

Norbert

YES ,Norbert KX 21 made in Beijing

No longer built by Beijing,I thought there have 3 reasons,
1,product's quality is not good enough,some Processing in detail not well,
2,Beijing Xinghai's own problem on management,
3,You know ,my pal,Business is war,and in china,there is and old proverb，“there can not accommodate two tigers in one mountain",so,Beijing Xinghai is a loser,just that,
one has to adapt to survive

yes we purchased Wilam steinberg

we can' t produce KAWAI's Grand ,Japanese do not give us the permission .

Sorry Chen. Since you've always posted the Kawai logo with your name, I assumed Kawai was paying your salary. Are there Japanese Kawai people in house supervising production of their orders?

Norbert,

That was is a magical recording to be sure. I've heard of phantom mics, bu my goodness -- phantom recording! No evidence of any recording equipment or wires anywhere in the space. Astounding!

Also hard to miss the sheer force exerted by that Brodmann piano on the player. I've read the expression "blown away by a piano" many times on PW, but until your video link, I really didn't know what it meant.

YES，KAWAI have experts in YiChing for supervising

See recording information:

Studio Mateusz Zahora

...where at the very bottom of this page it says:



hmm, schwammerl.

Luc,

I was aware, but thought it best to be playful about it (having just recently been through an ugly thread where a Hamburg Steinway filled in for a Cunningham for two weeks before the retailer who posted the clip supplied the details.) I didn't want to be perceived as a wet blanket.

In all honesty though, if a retailer for a brand posts a video clip that presents a brand he sells through the audio presence of another brand, I think he is skating on thin ice in terms of fraud. Obviously, this video was not cheap to make. Production values are way too high. Someone paid for it, and I doubt that that someone was Fedorova. My guess is that she was paid for her services by the same party that paid for the total production.

The piano biz has enough ethics problems as it is without getting involved in this sort of stuff. Although Brodmann pianos had no bearing on the OP's question, I'll just assume that Norbert didn't know what was going on in this clip when he posted it.

All I can say is that the sound was unmistakingly Brodmann. We had too many, heard too many..

The recording standard was very high which certainly helped.

Fedorova also performs on many other pianos so yes, this was most likely a paid demo.

But very nice nonetheless.

Chen: Since Kawai doesn't allow Parsons to build grands I can now see why they're going in other directions developing more of your own.

You also build your house brand Toyama.

Care to tell us a bit about those?
[hope am not diverting..]

Thanks

Norbert

NOW toyama is not the point ,the brand Yangtz river is the most important

How many brands of pianos are being produced in factory?

There seems to be quite a few....

Norbert

Hi, Chen, read your messages, and so the kawai uprights selling in Asia (k7,k8) are all made in yiching but not Japan? So kawai Japan has stopped producing uprights now?

sorry ,you r misunderstood ,K3-K8 the K serise were made in japan

8 brands
