Vendu | Occasion, Kawai, 608

Kawai 608 Designer Series French Provincial Cherry

Manufactured in 2005 and owned by a single careful custodian. The instrument has been well maintained and shows normal cosmetic wear from age and professional moves; a few blemishes are visible but do not affect playability.

This piano currently needs tuning, yet it plays beautifully and the three pedals function properly. The case is finished in a transparent cherry lacquer that highlights the decorative carving and the curved legs.

Notable improvements compared with the 607 model:
- Longer key sticks for increased leverage and more even control across the keyboard.
- Steel frame keybed to reduce warping from humidity and temperature changes.
- Slightly increased cabinet depth and width to house the refined design.

Dimensions (manufacturer data):
Length: 58 in
Height: 44.5 in
Width: 24 in

Action and sound:
The piano uses Kawai’s Exclusive Ultra‑Responsive Direct Blow action with ABS Styran components to minimise swelling or shrinking. The soundboard is solid spruce with an unusually large sounding area (~2,015 sq. in.) for this size, delivering a rich and resonant tone.

Hardware and durability:
Pedal levers employ square‑tube steel for greater strength and quieter operation; the pedals themselves are cast brass. The fallboard features a slow‑fall mechanism to prevent sudden closures.

Location and sale conditions:
Located in Fort Worth, TX. Price is negotiable. Please contact the seller for additional photos, viewing arrangements, and delivery options.
