Every so often, young come in just "to play" a grand piano. It is a dream for them and I understand that feeling as I used to go to Archambault in Montreal and do the same thing. It warms my heart to see how music is still very alive with young folks! This musician allowed me to take a video of his improv on our Kawai GL10 5' 0" Grand.

Feel-good story ALERT! Last Friday we were visited by a couple that have been married for 45 years. they came specifically to see Kawai grand pianos and told me their story, here it is in the husband's own words: "I gave my wife her birthday gift, it was a bunch of scrabble tiles and I told her she’d have to figure out what they spelled to know her actual gift." "She worked on it for a while while eating her breakfast with no luck. I then gave her the first clue - 3 5 4 5 5.... She figured out that that was the number of words and the number of letters in each word. Still no luck. I then gave her the next and final clue - 3 12 11 7 7. This stumped her so I had to ensure she realized that she was dealing with scrabble tiles and that each had a number assigned as well as a letter. She then realized that the numbers were the point value of each word and immediately got the first word ‘ONE’. Within a couple of minutes she got ‘GRAND’. From there on it was easy for her to get...." for us at Capital City Keyboards, THIS is about as great-a-story of love and love of music as we could ever hope to repeat! Congratulations to this wonderful couple, you now have a terrific addition to their family, the Kawai 5' 0" GL-10, a spectacular combination of touch and tone, including the Millenium III carbon fibre action (100% made in Japan)!
