The Kawai KS1 was made prior to 1970, most likely the latter 1960's, but finding the specific year requires the serial number oand some research. If it is the KS1f, then that means it was made in the 1980's.

∙ 14y agoI have an upright Kawai piano and tried to locate the serial number which I believe is by the Kawai LOGO in black ink "K1033914" and I also found embossed at the bottom of the harp the numbers 53' 11' 10'.
Kawai website lists my piano between this dates
1978 973490
1979 1067130
I lived in Japan for 17 years and recognized the grouping of six numbers embossed
53' 11' 10 resembles Japanese ERA dating system based on emperor reign.
Current emperor started his reign in the year 1988 and the one before that is 1925.
adding 1925 to the first two digits 53 equates to (1925+53) 1978 next tow is the month and than day/s.
So If my guess is right, mine was manufactured (at least the harp)
exactly on Nov. 10 1978
For other Kawai upright owners, please confirm if this discovery holds water.
