Ian Burgess-Simpson Pianos have kindly allowed us to babysit one of their beautiful pre-owned Kawai K300 professional upright pianos in our new Rondebosch shop. Much of the music we sell is for the piano, and so it seemed a great idea to have an instrument on which people could explore the music contained in our books. It also allows us to host the occasional small event, such as an exam play-through or book review. And of course it means Peter can practice when there’s no one around to listen.
The Kawai K300 (https://www.kawai-global.com/product/k-300/) is more than your average upright piano, it’s suitable for all levels, including professional play. It fills our small shop with its full rich sound, and will be a great addition to the space. Until one of our customers decides to take it home that is. It’s only temporarily in our space, and if any of our customers decide to make it theirs they are welcome to do so, Ian and his team will be only too happy to provide more details.
Here’s a video of the K300 being played in Ian Burgess-Simpson Pianos.
