Kawai pianos

Kawai Piano For Sale Malaysia Restored used Kawai uprights and grands, rebuilt before they reach the floor.

Kawai is the quieter recommendation, and often the right one. The tone is warmer and rounder than a Yamaha at the same height, which suits players who practise for hours and find a bright treble tiring. Several models also come in lighter, which decides more purchases than anyone expects.

Everything included free delivery, upholstered bench, two tunings after delivery, accessories worth over RM500 and a five-year warranty

Two ways in

Upright Or Grand, Both Restored

Start with the shape of the instrument, because that decides the room before it decides the tone. Almost every home we deliver to takes an upright. A grand needs floor area rather than wall space, and that is the first question to settle.

Reading the model names

The Kawai Lines, And What They Mean

Kawai runs its uprights across the BL, BS and K series. The letters mark the line and roughly the era, while the number tracks the size: a BL-31 at 125 cm is a mid-height instrument, a K35 at 132 cm is full height. Kawai came out of Japan in smaller numbers than Yamaha, so stock is thinner and a specific model can take time to find. If you want one in particular, tell us and we will watch for it.

Eighty nine Kawai models, each with its own page. Kawai built more separate lines than Yamaha, so the range reads as more confusing than it is. Height and weight matter more than the letters. Pick a type below or search the number.

The first generation of Kawai uprights, and the line the later series grew out of. Many left the factory with two pedals and have had a third fitted during restoration.

Kawai's long-running domestic line for the Japanese market, which is why so many reach Malaysia. B and D suffixes mark later revisions, not different sizes.

A later domestic line with the F suffix. Heights step in tight increments, so there is usually one that matches an awkward wall.

What is included

Before you buy

Buying A Used Kawai Piano: Common Questions

How does a Kawai compare to a Yamaha?

Kawai is generally warmer and rounder in the top end, Yamaha is brighter and quicker. Neither is better. Players who find a bright treble tiring over a long practice session usually prefer the Kawai, and players preparing for exams often want the Yamaha response.

Which Kawai upright is the easiest to move?

The BL-31 at around 200 kg, with the K20 in the same weight class. When there is no service lift and the piano has to go up a staircase, those are usually the honest recommendation over a 260 kg K48.

What are the Kawai BL, BS and K lines?

Different series built across different decades. BL and BS are the earlier lines, K is the later one. In practice the number matters more than the letters: a K35 at 132 cm is a full-height instrument, a BL-31 at 125 cm is not.

Do you get Kawai stock as often as Yamaha?

Less often. Yamaha was made and exported in far greater numbers, so more of them come out of Japan. If you specifically want a Kawai, tell us and we will watch for it rather than talk you into something else.
