Inside my old piano, there is a kawai gakki logo ( which according to a dealer is the sign of kawai japan)
I intend to buy a second hand BS 2A but it only have the logo with letters ' kawai' and a sticker that wrote kawai gakki.
So is it some kind of fake? How do I know if it really was manufactered in Japan

Greetings augcat,

Welcome to the forum. smile

For some info regarding Kawai BS2A, Click on below link:

www.markgoodwinpianos.co.uk/img/0807-kawai-bs2a/ - 3

Also, Google: Kawai BS2A piano
Might be of some help too.

Gakki means Manufacturer.

I believe that all BS2As were built in Japan,
but I'm not 100 percent sure.

Good luck,

Bear
