Date of assessment: 9/5/2025

Kawai grand piano model KG2S #1851640 – manufactured in 1988.

Appraisal:

The piano is a 5’ 10” grand piano with an ebony satin finish. It bears the maker's mark on the fallboard and plate and the serial number is stamped onto the plate.

General impressions: a fine example from a well respected world class piano manufacturer. Purchased as new, after being used at the Aspen Music Festival.

Recent repair work: recently tuned. Up to pitch at time of inspection.

Cabinet: The piano looks nice, with few major issues to report. The pedals are slightly tarnished. There are many light scratches and swirls on the finish as one might expect on a 37 year old piano. The fallboard decal is slightly tarnished.

Belly: good – bridges good. Plate good. Pinblock good. Soundboard has no cracking. Pedals all work – sustain, shift and sostenuto. Some minor marks on sound board, but merely of a cosmetic nature, and not affecting the playability or sound. Some light rusting on upper treble strings.

Action: Keys are all intact. Very little wear on the hammers and felts. Action is medium touch; the sound is medium to bright. Key bushings are a little worn.
