Information about Kawai Pianos
As one of the most prestigious piano competitions in the calendar, the Dudley International Piano Competition has, since its conception in 1967, generated a list of winners and competitors that deservedly went on to earn worldwide acclaim.

“I have heard people speak with great authority about certain types of piano being good for particular composers or certain types of music but again, inevitably, it comes down to personal taste in the end.”
