Steven,

All good advice so far.  I see a lot of both Yamaha and Kawai pianos here.
>From a quality of construction perspective, I don't think I could give an
edge to either.  Neither would I pick a winner in customer service - my
experience has been excellent with both.  In general, Yamahas seem to come
prepped brighter, Kawai's mellower, but, who knows.  If the choice really is
Yamaha or Kawai, they must play both and see which one really speaks to
them.
