Difference between Full and Limited warranty
Full Warranty:
A Full Warranty guarantees that the manufacturer will stand behind the product, even to the point of full replacement if a problem cannot be repaired. By definition, a full warranty is transferable from one owner to the next. This means that the warranty remains in effect for the full period, regardless of owner, thereby enhancing the piano’s resale value if transferred to a new owner during the warranty period.
Kawai’s TEN-YEAR FULL WARRANTY symbolizes our commitment to excellence.
Limited Warranty:
Limited Warranty places limits on the manufacturer’s legal responsibility to repair defects. Generally, limited warranties are not transferable.
