Hi Ron, I take care of one of these and also a CS-40 which is the vertical in that series. It was my understanding that these were made for the European market and that there are no plastic parts. They may also have slightly softer hammers. Don Mannino can give us the real scoop on these. I only am repeating what the salesman told my client. Now, how reliable is that? I wonder how different it is from what Don's facts are? As far as quality, they are very nice and the hammers have not gotten as bright over the years (around 8 or 9) as the ones we usually see. Hope this is helpful. It was great meeting you in Arlington. jeannie -----Original Message----- From: owner-pianotech@ptg.org [mailto:owner-pianotech@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Ron Nossaman Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2000 8:00 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Kawai model info I got a call from a Kawai dealer today wanting information on a model CA-40 (6') grand, sn #1869560. I'd never heard of the model, so I offered to poll the collective brain - that's you. They ascertained a 1989 manufacturing date, but don't know anything else about the model. Any enlightenment?
