I am considering selling an exceptionally rare Shigeru Kawai SK-5B, a fully hand-built, Limited Edition Japanese chamber grand (semi-concert grand), crafted entirely in Japan at Kawai’s prestigious Ryuyo Master Piano Workshop and certified with the personal signature of Master Piano Artisan Michio Kaizuka.
If you are looking for a concert-grade masterpiece in immaculate, new condition, complete with its original Limited Edition documentation, you are welcome to contact me.
Very few instruments of this calibre ever become available outside private collections.
