Ian Burgess-Simpson Pianos have been handling the brand in South Africa for over 20 years.  In that time, Kawai have become the instruments with the highest sales in the country, ahead of all other brands, including Yamaha.

​

We have placed over 800 Kawai acoustic and digital pianos across the country, including 150 grands and Shigeru Kawai handcrafted grands. Kawai's reluctance to increase production, and thus reduce quality, in order to meet demand is a decision we proudly stand by.

​

These are some of the customers who have chosen Kawai:​
