Kawai worth

[Isaac OLEG SIMANOT]

Ed,

The most long lasting piano model in a school environnement. I know one
which plays 8 hrs/day since 1974 - 1 new hammer set - original strings, very
good sound and hold tuning pretty well.

Very good gift.

Regards.

Isaac OLEG

The model have been stopped a few years ago
