3. CONCERT MAGIC

The great German composer Johann Sebastian Bach once said “Playing the keyboard is simple. Just strike the right keys at the right time”. Many pianists wish it were quite that straightforward. Fortunately, KAWAI have devised a method of playing the keyboard that is very simple, without even needing to strike the right keys.
