This 1986 Kawai KL70 professional upright is an incredibly capable musical companion that offers its player impressive dynamic control and capability as well as a markedly warm tone throughout the entire range of the instrument. Like most Kawai pianos from this era, this polished walnut-finished Kawai KL70 has aged quite well and retained its playability and tone rather impressively. Its taller scale allows for long bass strings and a large soundboard, which, in combination, provides a beautifully rich, warm sound. The bass register in particular is extremely clear even when playing at the more extreme ends of the dynamics spectrum. The oversized music desk is also quite convenient, while providing the KL70 a unique aesthetic. 

While its price makes it an attractive option for a beginner or intermediate student in search of a piano, the larger height, responsive action, and music capability of this Kawai KL70 makes it an appropriate instrument for even more advanced levels.

Koichi Kawai was an integral member of the Nippon Gakki Company (later renamed the Yamaha Corporation) research and development team that first introduced pianos to Japan. However, upon the company deciding to diversify its product line outside of musical instruments, Koichi Kawai decided to leave the Nippon Gakki Company in 1927 and launch the Kawai Musical Instrument Research Laboratory. Ever since, Kawai has been fully committed to refining its designs on its quest to manufacture the perfect piano.
