		A retrospective exhibition of Kanjiro Kawai (1890-1966) is at the
		Kawai's output is so tremendous that it almost seems as if some supernatural force was guiding him.
		The somewhat eccentric Kawai was an extraordinary being, like an elf working alone late into the night; many of his pieces are full of a beauty and mystery that one can only describe as otherworldliness.

	Koolaupoko regional ecosystems - Kawai Nui Marsh
		The total freshwater input to Kawai Nui Marsh is estimated at 6.8 mgd (25,700 m³/day) (Drigot et al., 1982) to 9.5 million gallons per day (35,900 m³/day) (Wilson Okamoto and Assoc., 1994), with 23,800 m³/day (6.3 mgd) discharged to Kailua Bay through the Oneawa Channel and 12,100 m³/day (3.2 mgd) lost to evapotranspiration.
		Historically, a portion of Kawai Nui Marsh was a 450-acre fishpond kept clear of encroaching vegetation by the communal efforts of the ahupua`a residents.
		There is always great general interest in water quality because of its real and perceived influences on the kinds of life present in a body of water, the usefulness of that body of water for human consumption and recreational contact, and the impact on downstream environments, especially nearshore waters in our island state.

	Roko Kawai and Sachiyo Ito
		Fans of Roko Kawai may hardly recognize the dancer/choreographer in her latest program of classical Japanese dance where she dons traditional Kabuki makeup and attire: whiteface, wig and kimono.
		Kawai says the experience helped her develop a deeper awareness of her body in time and space as well as ways to switch scenes, characters and emotions.
		But before that, Kawai will present her knack for the real deal, in a program with her mentor, where the pair recreate four popular Kabuki tales featuring entertaining characters, including an avenging samurai and a sweet maiden.

	Soil, Sediment, and Water Interactions in Kawai Nui Marsh - Page 1
		To call Kawai Nui a marsh is to imply that soils are saturated with water all or much of the time, because a marsh typically consists of wet soils supporting growths of specially adapted herbaceous plants (in swamps, the dominant plants are woody trees).
		In the middle of Kawai Nui is a lake of several acres extent, nearly covered by the floating plant known as water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes; here in flower).
		The gross layers of the Kawai Nui basin are described under geology of the marsh.

	Short Guide
		Kawai, however, in recent years has pioneered the use of plastic (ABS styran) parts in their piano actions, which is most likely a step in the right direction, since wooden action parts are susceptible to humidity variation, where the plastic parts are not.
		Both Yamaha and Kawai have special divisions, set apart from the rest of the factory, where their best and most expensive models are made (the Yamaha S-series instruments, and the CFIII 9 foot; and the Kawai RX-A and EX models), with additional hand craftsmanship and special attention to detail.
		Kawai's price-leader GE series and the Yamaha's economy GH series of pianos came on the market about the same time the Korean pianos started biting into a larger segment of the world piano market pie chart.

	Kawai XD-5
		Considering that XD-5 is a drum synth, the maximum polyphony of 16 voices (Kawai claims 32, but these are, shall we say, "oscillators") should be enough for most applications.
		It's too bad, however, that Kawai had to sacrifice half of the ROM in order to provide reversed waveforms - I feel that this task could be left to the processor and the rest of the ROM filled with extra samples.
		Kawai do provide a few SYSEX banks on their site (make sure that your XD-5 is set to MIDI channel 10, or they won't work), and they're quite nice, but what's missing is the manual.

	Kawai heavy action (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Dale I have a customer with a small Kawai grand from the early 80's which has a very heavy touch weight.
		In my experience, this is very common among Kawai grands of that era (especially the ones sold as Howards), and I expect downweights in the area of 65 gm, upweights around 40 gm.
		So I wonder if any of you have experience in addressing weight issues in small Kawai's of this vintage, and would be willing to share.

	Kawai MP9500
		Playing the Kawai I could not get the notes to connect and blend harmonically as well, it didn't play as seamlessly, the Kawai notes sounded more disjointed as if the samples did not merge quite perfectly with each other or as seamlessly as on the P250.
		Paired with even a mediocre piano sound, Kawai's action would make this the best keyboard on the market; but as it is, it leaves you with such a feeling of detachment from the instrument that the realism of the action is a moot point.
		Kawai says it has improved the sounds from the 9000 to the 9500.

	Kawai MP9500
		According to Kawai Europe, the new action is an attempt to replicate the one on the company's Concert Grand EX acoustic pianos, with the same static and dynamic weighting, and sure enough, compared with the former AWA Grand III, the MP9500's AWA Grand Pro action is five grammes heavier to play, according to Kawai's figures.
		While a Kawai has a totally different action to a Steinway, for example, the combination of a superb action with a meticulously sampled piano was unparalleled.
		Kawai anticipated a market for the MP9000, but to my satisfaction, they were totally overwhelmed by its success when it was first presented at the Winter NAMM show in 1998.
