Used Yamaha Uprights
The U1, U2, U3 and UX lines. Bright, even and quick under the fingers, which is why teachers and exam candidates keep asking for them.
Restored Japanese uprights, rent-to-own, moving, tuning and repair, all from one workshop since 1979. Sunwave Piano is the piano side of Sunwave Piano, and we look after pianos for the rest of their working life whether or not you bought yours from us.
Tell us what you have got and what you need: buying, renting, moving, tuning or a repair. We will tell you straight away whether it is a job for us and roughly what it involves.
Eight things, and they are all connected. The crew that delivers a piano is the crew that tunes it afterwards, and the workshop that rebuilds our own stock is the one that repairs yours. Most piano problems in Malaysia come down to humidity and handling, and both are easier to solve when one company owns the whole chain.
Restored Japanese Yamaha and Kawai uprights, delivered, tuned and covered for five years.

Rent a restored upright monthly. Keep it, and every ringgit paid comes off the price.
How it works
Two to four men, proper skids and straps, and the route walked before the piano leaves the wall.
Ask for a mover
A440 pitch raises for instruments that have drifted, and regular tuning for those that have not.
Book a tuning
Sticking keys, dead notes, broken hammer shanks and pedal linkages that no longer bite.
Describe the problem
Full rebuilds, strings and dampers through to case refinishing. The same work we do on our own stock.
Ask about a rebuild
Sunwave Piano has taught piano since 1979, from beginners and adult returners through to graded exam candidates.
Ask about lessons
Talk to us about your current piano. What we can offer depends entirely on the instrument, so send photographs and the serial number.
Ask about a trade-inJapanese Yamaha and Kawai, restored in Japan and rebuilt again in our own workshop, then tuned on the floor so you can play the exact instrument before you pay for it. Most of what we carry is uprights. Free delivery, an upholstered bench, two tunings after delivery and a five-year warranty are in every price, not added at the end. Grands come through in ones and twos, so ask us what is on the floor.
Yamaha
The U1, U2, U3 and UX lines. Bright, even and quick under the fingers, which is why teachers and exam candidates keep asking for them.
Kawai
The BL, BS and K lines. Warmer and rounder in the top end, and several come in lighter to move, which matters when there is no service lift.
A piano is not a one-off purchase. It gets moved, it drifts out of tune, and eventually something inside it needs replacing.
People who move pianos every week know that an upright carries its weight high and toward the back. General movers find that out on your staircase.
The same workshop that rebuilt or delivered your piano is the one that returns to tune it, so nobody is guessing at its history.
Four decades of Yamaha and Kawai uprights means the hammer, damper or pedal linkage yours needs is usually a part we have handled before.
Buying, renting, moving, tuning, repair. You are not chasing three contractors and hoping they blame each other politely.
Rent a restored upright by the month. If you decide to keep it, every ringgit of rental you have paid comes off the purchase price. The rental is not a fee you lose. It is credit toward owning the piano.
Moving, tuning and repair calls run out of our Petaling Jaya shop, so almost all of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor is within an hour of a van.
We do travel further for the right job, into Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Pahang, Kedah and Kelantan, and delivery on a piano bought from us is free anywhere in Peninsular Malaysia to a ground floor or a unit reachable by service lift. Staircase carries are quoted separately, because the cost comes from the steps and the turns rather than the distance.
Everything we sell stands on one floor, in the centre court of Tropicana City Mall. Covered parking, a lift, and somewhere for the family to sit while whoever is actually going to play works through four or five uprights properly.
Everything a piano needs after it is built. We sell restored Japanese Yamaha and Kawai uprights, rent them out on a rent-to-own basis, and move, tune, repair and restore pianos. All of it comes out of the same workshop, which is the point: you are not chasing three contractors when something goes wrong.
Yes, and most of the tuning and repair calls we take in the Klang Valley are for instruments bought somewhere else. It does not matter where the piano came from or how old it is.
We specialise in restored Japanese uprights rather than new instruments. A rebuilt Yamaha or Kawai was built to a standard that the same money does not buy new today, which is why we put our workshop behind used pianos instead.
Twice a year for most homes. Malaysian humidity swings far more than the climate these pianos were built for, and the soundboard moves with it. That movement, not playing, is what pulls a piano out of tune.
Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Pahang, Kedah and Kelantan. Delivery on a piano bought from us is free anywhere in Peninsular Malaysia to a ground floor or a unit reachable by service lift.
Yes, through rent-to-own. You rent a restored upright by the month, and if you decide to buy it, everything you have already paid in rental comes off the purchase price. Rental stock is not on the shop floor, so message us first and we will tell you what is available.
We quote against the actual piano rather than publishing a figure, because two instruments wearing the same badge can be thousands of ringgit apart. What is fixed is what comes with it: free delivery, an upholstered bench, two tunings after delivery, accessories worth over RM500 and a five-year warranty on parts and labour.
Talk to us about it. What we can offer depends entirely on the instrument, so send photographs of the piano, the serial number from inside the top lid, and where it has been kept.
On the 1st floor centre court of Tropicana City Mall, Jalan SS20/27, 47400 Petaling Jaya. Message us before you come and we will have the models you want to hear tuned and open.
