Kawai Pianos was founded in 1927 in Hamamatsu, Japan, by Koichi Kawai, a skilled piano craftsman who had previously worked for Yamaha. Kawai aimed to create high-quality pianos with innovative designs and precision engineering.

In the 1950s and 60s, the company expanded globally, establishing Kawai America in 1963. They introduced advanced manufacturing techniques, including the use of ABS-Styran in their piano actions, which improved durability and consistency compared to traditional wooden parts.

By the 1980s and 90s, Kawai became a major competitor to Yamaha, particularly in digital and hybrid pianos. Their award-winning Shigeru Kawai series, introduced in 2000, positioned them as a premium brand for concert pianists.

Today, Kawai remains one of the leading piano manufacturers, known for blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.
