If you talk to violinists, a passable violin starts at $10,000. LMAO It's a very snobish bunch.

I ordered this in July, and it arrived with a broken keyboard, approximately an octave and a half lifted off the frame/keybed. I was able to arrange a pick-up and return with Adorama over a chat box on their website. A third-party picked it up yesterday. We'll see how long it takes to receive the replacement.

That's a bummer. The box clearly says to keep the keyboard upright but the shipping company strapped it on the truck on its side when I had received it. I think a lot of us got lucky that they didn't damage it that way, you might've been unlucky with it being upside down at some point in transit.

Wow! The same thing happened to me! After setting up the whole piano, I took the cover off the keys, and lo and behold, about a third of them were lifted and shifted, all stuck (see attached). Now, I'm orchestrating a pick-up and replacement. Someone's coming Monday to take it away, but they won't send a new one until they receive this one. I'm guessing I won't get the replacement until September, nearly a month and a half after I ordered it.

This has turned into a huge nightmare, and I'm pretty disappointed in both Kawai and Adorama. The whole situation is taking so much time and effort to fix. If this damage happened during shipping, it must've been a gorilla-sized mishap, as those keys are super wedged together. Kawai offered to send someone to fix it, but that would essentially leave me with a refurbished piano, and who's to say there isn't internal damage that could cause future problems?

I'll update here on how they handle the situation, but at this point, I'd recommend getting your piano locally and thinking twice about a Kawai piano. If this happened in a company I controlled, I would have taken care of my customer much better than either Kawai or Adorama has.

sounds like a disaster, what shipping company does Adorama use?

I bought one of these about 5 years ago, my wife loves it and the sound is very well done, along with the key action.

Does anyone recommend buying the protection plan on the piano through Adorama ? Why?
