Shigeru Kawai SK6

Orchestral presence. Artistic soul.

The Shigeru Kawai SK-6 is a 7′ orchestra grand designed to captivate both the performer and the audience. Handcrafted in Japan by Kawai’s elite Master Piano Artisans (MPAs), the SK-6 offers a commanding tonal presence, refined control, and exquisite detail—making it a favorite for concert venues, advanced studios, and serious pianists.

Its custom-tapered solid spruce soundboard, aged through the kigarashi process, produces a rich, well-rounded tone with exceptional clarity and sustain. The Shiko Seion hammers, crafted from premium New Zealand and Australian wool, are voiced by hand for expressive nuance across the full dynamic range. The Konsei Katagi rim, made from a blend of select hardwoods, enhances projection and tonal balance.

Kawai’s Millennium III Action, built with carbon-infused ABS, ensures lightning-fast repetition and enduring precision. Extended-length keysticks, concert-length key buttons, and NEOTEX™ key surfaces provide consistent touch and control from front to back. Structural features like the SOLID stretcher bar, multi-laminated keybed, and Temaki hand-wound bass strings reflect the SK-6’s uncompromising build quality.

And in a tradition that honors Shigeru Kawai’s legacy, every SK piano includes a personal visit from one of Kawai’s Master Piano Artisans within the first two years of ownership. This extraordinary service includes a full concert-level regulation, voicing, and tuning—a gift from Kawai to ensure your instrument performs at its absolute best.
