Kawai officially not in trouble.

Post by A440 »

MIpro announced this morning....
The Kawai UK office and operation, despite rumours to the contrary, is fully operational and the sales team working as usual.

Doesn't sound too reassuring really, a bit like the "are you still beating your wife?" line!

Go on then, what rumours???

OK,
the reason that MI Pro made this announcement was through bad information given to them by someone with a grievance with Kawai. (Industrial sabotage?) Mi Pro have said sorry as they put this up without doing any further investigation and were wanting a News breaking story and now there're in trouble with Kawai. Below is an apology by the magazine.

Kawai are trying to keep up with demand for their pianos because of the xmas rush. The reputation of Kawai is not at question here, but the reputation of MI Pro through bad journalism is. I also heard the K2 and K3 are flying out the doors, must be that new action, it’s made them light enough.
I hear Elvis is alive and living in Ibiza :)
