I've run into a few of these over the years. I generally like Kawai =
pianos, but not this one. This piano has no front legs? Poor tuning =
stability, yes. Set your leg under the keybed and lift up on the bottom =
of the keybed with your leg - sucker bends all over the place. IMHO, a =
cheap cruddy piano.

The upper-end Kawai uprights can be quite nice pianos - much like the =
Yamaha uprights.

To address your problems: I recommend replacement if the owner is not =
happy with it.

  Hello list

  I wonder if anyone can help. The Kawai CX5H is about 7 or 8 years old =
and has pretty much been dogged by problems most of its short life. I =
started looking after it about 5 yrs ago and first up all the tuning =
pins had gone rusty so we had to fix that. The people are very lovely =
but at the same time are not at all content with their shiny almost new =
Kawai piano.
  The tuning stability of the thing is not good at all!! We installed a =
dampp chaser earlier in the year and although this has helped with =
sticking notes it has not done a great deal for the tuning.
  The people have national and international musicians staying with them =
and playing their piano and of course are quite embaressed by the whole =
affair. So much so in fact that they're thinking of asking Kawai to take =
back their piano.
  Here's one thing that I did think of and was wondering whether anybody =
else has done it and that is to build back posts into the piano? What do =
ya'll think??
  Also the action shudders when a key is hit hard does anyone know why =
this is? I also pulled up quite a bit of lost motion a month ago in the =
piano and went back 2 weeks ago and there was almost as much there as =
before I pulled it up???!!
  I'd appreciate any comments and anyone elses experience with the =
CX-5H.
  Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts.

  Steve Martin.
