Quote from QuikZilvr

:

Following up on this, my replacement arrived today, and the delivery guy and I immediately unpacked it together. This time only 1 octave lifted and unplayable. I immediately packed it back up with him and he took it. I am giving up. I sent pictures to Adorama over their chat service on the website, and they said they will review and get back to me in 2 business days.

Thanks for updating your experience here and really sorry to hear about what happened. I'm really concerned about the same thing happening to me as well. My replacement is currently enroute.

If I may ask, did you just ask the delivery guy to wait while you unpacked and checked the piano and he volunteered to help? The piano is quite heavy and cumbersome so not easy to unpack and repack. Any tips for when its my turn to do the same is appreciated!

I'm at least going to insist they have two people available to bring in the box without tilting it on a dolly like they did last time.

Mine arrived today. Packing and pallet looked good. Assembly is straight forward, but instructions suck. Wife says it feels solid and sounds great

Updating my experience here, and unfortunately, it mirrors QuikZilvr's. I had braced myself for the possibility of receiving another damaged piano, but I was taken aback to find it damaged in almost the exact same manner as the first one. Thanks to QuikZilvr's advice, I had the delivery person wait while we inspected it. Upon discovering the damage, we immediately repacked it and refused the delivery.

I've been in touch with Kawai, and they insist that their products are adequately packaged and tested before being shipped to vendors. We're not talking minor scratches or blemishes here; the damage to the keys is so severe that I'd struggle to replicate it intentionally. I'd probably have to wedge a screwdriver under each key and hammer it to achieve the level of damage I observed. While poor handling during delivery could be a factor, it's hard to imagine how such damage could occur when the piano is still in its original packaging, showing no signs of external abuse.

I'm currently waiting to see how Kawai and Adorama will address this issue. As it stands, Kawai's handling of the situation leaves much to be desired and doesn't inspire confidence in their products.

I wanted to share my experience for the benefit of anyone who might read this thread in the future. I hope you're among the fortunate few who receive an undamaged piano.
