Kawai K15 Review: Why Has Kawai’s K-15 Been Recieving So Much Attention

otranscribe Stu Harrison and I'm here nearing pianos in Toronto Canada today were to be looking at a piano that's got a very personal past for me the quae K 15 upright piano now the reason it's personal is this instrument was actually the very first piano I ever bought with my own money I grow up with several instruments in my home my mother had an upright we eventually purchased a grant when I got it in university this baby right here was actually the very first instrument that ever graced my own house I had it for 19 years before I finally upgraded and I can tell you is a fantastic.
