Japan has made significant contributions to the global piano industry, producing instruments that resonate with precision, craftsmanship, and innovation. Two prominent Japanese piano manufacturers stand out: Yamaha and Kawai.
When choosing a piano, consider your musical preferences, playing style, and budget. Both brands offer a diverse range of pianos, from uprights to grand pianos.
Remember, the soul of a piano lies not only in its craftsmanship but also in the music it brings to life.
Music has long been recognized as a powerful tool for emotional and creative growth. Among all musical instruments, the piano stands out as a gateway to self-expression, cognitive development, and emotional well-being. Whether you're a beginner learning your first melody or a seasoned pianist composing intricate harmonies, playing the piano fosters holistic development in ways that go beyond the keys.
At just 20 years old, pianist Madison Yan is already enchanting audiences with a blend of technical brilliance, emotional depth, and fearless authenticity. We had the chance to sit down with Madison after her standout performance at Northwest Pianos—an event so packed with anticipation, we had to turn people away at the door. (Don’t worry—we’re working on a return performance!)
Moving a grand piano is no easy task. Its size, weight, and delicate components make it one of the most challenging items to transport. Without proper care, you risk damaging the piano’s structure, internal mechanisms, and finish, or worse, injuring yourself or others in the process.
