Fortunately, we kept our piano stocks up to 300 units all year long and you might find one or two special editions in our factory if its fated to be yours. Normally, special edition sells RM1K more than normal edition and its hardly seen in Malaysia Market. Lets take some time to appreciate the sound of this wonderful piece of art.įor a fraction of price, you get one of the greatest Kawai model that can last you easily another 15 to 20 years.

Our master technician regulated this piano scrupulously and make sure keys were uniformly aligned. BL series offer a longer key sticks length which make it more responsive and combined with the stability of Millennium action, this allows the pianist to play with more expression and ease. The bass part offer a fuller tone and the rest of the pianos sounded warmer compare to Yamahas. It also has a more substantial feel making it a good practice instrument. B元1 is taller than Yamaha u1 and taller upright offers a richer sound. The good felt on the hammers create a rounder tone and huge dynamic range. I cant really tell the difference between the special editions, but one think i can assure you, the hammers definitely makes everything sound better as these hammers were also used on Steinway pianos. Both were seen using Louis Renner hammer and Abel Hammers. I have only sold Matsuzakaya model twice in my piano careers but i came across more Mitsukoshi. My Japanese supplier told me both models were introduced in the 1980s and only 100,000 units made in the world.

Same goes to MATSUZAKAYA, which i cant find too much information online. The Mitsukoshi edition has a architectural features infront of the front board in the front cover and the logo “MITSUKOSHI” on the iron frame. I have no idea why would a company put their names on a piano to celebrate their company success, and Mitsukoshi is like a departmental store in Japan. According to him, MITSUKOSHI models are exclusively sold by Mitsukoshi corp Japan as their 90th years company celebration. I have research online regarding these versions and also consulted with my piano SIFU in Japan, Mr Narushima Sensei, a 70 years old experience Piano Technician. These versions are the even more premium than B元1 special, in terms of rarity and exclusiveness, i would say its a collectible piano for most piano lovers.
