Every part of the action is a masterpiece of mechanical efficiency, uniformity, and sensitivity and is built to withstand over a lifetime of use. An incredibly strong material known as ABS Styran is used for the many load bearing parts that would formally have been timber. Although uncommon to the industry, Kawai inspects each action over 100 times and regulates it 5 times before it leaves the factory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-is4fz1-d289ec669213f66c9f35420c35ef8d56\">\n.flex_column.av-is4fz1-d289ec669213f66c9f35420c35ef8d56{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-is4fz1-d289ec669213f66c9f35420c35ef8d56 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-39  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_two_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hk4anh-b9a3404e41dfa3da0f5b1d992d9ecab4\">\n.avia-image-container.av-hk4anh-b9a3404e41dfa3da0f5b1d992d9ecab4 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-hk4anh-b9a3404e41dfa3da0f5b1d992d9ecab4 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-hk4anh-b9a3404e41dfa3da0f5b1d992d9ecab4 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-40  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-7754 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-7754 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/pianosplus.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/piano_keyboard.jpeg\" alt='' title='piano_keyboard'  height=\"561\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pianosplus.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/piano_keyboard.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/pianosplus.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/piano_keyboard-300x210.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pianosplus.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/piano_keyboard-768x539.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pianosplus.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/piano_keyboard-705x494.jpeg 705w, https:\/\/pianosplus.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/piano_keyboard-600x421.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1i9ebx-b76428602287a0cd514db26ce8bc943c\">\n.flex_column.av-1i9ebx-b76428602287a0cd514db26ce8bc943c{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-1i9ebx-b76428602287a0cd514db26ce8bc943c av_two_third  avia-builder-el-41  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kt48pc8e-be30559891a7e424ba09f21b88814972'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>To address the negative environmental impact of using natural Ivory key covers, Kawai engineers developed and patented NEOTEX synthetic ivory \u2013 a breakthrough within the industry.
