Shigeru Kawai SK-7

Majestic tone. Masterful craftsmanship.

The Shigeru Kawai SK-7 is a 7’6″ semi-concert grand that stands just below the flagship SK-EX in tonal power and expressive range. Handcrafted in Japan by Kawai’s elite Master Piano Artisans (MPAs), the SK-7 is a true performance instrument—designed for concert halls, advanced studios, and artists who demand uncompromising musical depth.

Its custom-tapered solid spruce soundboard, aged through the kigarashi process, produces a full-bodied tone with brilliant treble, thunderous bass, and exceptional sustain. The Shiko Seion hammers, made from premium New Zealand and Australian wool, are voiced by hand to deliver subtle power and rich color across the dynamic spectrum.

Kawai’s Millennium III Action, built with carbon-infused ABS, offers lightning-fast repetition and enduring precision. The SK-7 also features Temaki hand-wound bass strings, concert agraffes, hand-notched bridges, and a Konsei Katagi rim—a blend of select hardwoods that enhances projection and tonal balance.

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.
