The Kawai DS55 Limited Edition is a rare, premium acoustic upright piano manufactured in Japan. 

  • Upgraded Materials: As part of Kawai's specialized "DS" series prototype/special run, the Limited Edition version utilized premium solid wood materials and upgraded internals compared to mass-market models of the same era.
  • Distinctive Cabinet Aesthetics: It features subtle, unique cabinetry contours, aesthetic wood detailing, or specialized limited-run branding elements that set it apart from standard polished ebony models.
  • Acoustic Characteristics: Known for a deeper, more robust tone and a highly responsive action, making it a highly sought-after secondhand instrument for intermediate to advanced players.
