A 164 cm grand. This is where the instrument starts sounding like what people picture. It is the shortest Numbered we list.
Send the room size and which floor it is going to. If it will not fit, we would rather tell you now than on delivery day.
Kawai
In the price, not added at the end.
Both sides of it. If the right-hand column sounds like your situation, say so and we will point you elsewhere.
Long enough that the bass strings are not cramped by the case. This is where a grand stops being a shape and starts being a sound. Against the Kawai No. 500 it is 14 cm shorter and 25 kg lighter.
Among the lightest we list, in a range that runs from 272 kg to 510 kg.
Two pedals, which is normal for its generation and market. We will say if the one on the floor has had a third added.
Kawai voicing runs warmer than Yamaha at the same size, particularly up top. People who practise for hours tend to prefer it. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and twenty minutes at the shop settles it faster than any description.
275 kg, and it travels in pieces. Legs and lyre come off, the body goes on its side on a padded skid.
Kawai built several at 164 cm long: the KG-1C, KG-1E, RX-1, GE-30AT. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the 350 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Length | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai No. 350 This model | 164 cm | 275 kg | 150 cm |
| Kawai KG-1C | 164 cm | 272 kg | 150 cm |
| Kawai KG-1E | 164 cm | 272 kg | 150 cm |
| Kawai RX-1 | 164 cm | 285 kg | 150 cm |
We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the No. 350 you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included.
Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it.
If you are not ready to commit, rent one by the month. Decide to keep it and the rent you have paid comes off the purchase price.
Kawai's earlier grand numbering. Many are two-pedal instruments from the domestic Japanese market.
164 cm long, 150 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 275 kg. On a grand the length is the number that matters, because it sets the bass string length and the floor space you need.
You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 3.9 m² with room to sit and pass. 275 kg, and it travels in pieces. Legs and lyre come off, the body goes on its side on a padded skid. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.
We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the No. 350 you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included. Five years of parts and labour cover comes with it, from the same people who rebuilt it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a 350 specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.
Ask, because it changes week to week. If we do not have one, we will say so and tell you what is close on size and weight.
Twice a year. Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it. Two tunings after delivery are included when you buy from us.
Ask what is actually in the shop today. We will send photos of the specific piano, tell you what was replaced in the rebuild, and be honest if another model fits you better.
