Making the call

Is The 500 Right For You?

Read both. The second list is the one that saves people money.

Choose the 500 if

You have a dedicated music room or a generous living area
The player is advanced enough that the instrument is now the limit
You want a piano that will not need replacing as the player improves

Look at something else if

The room is under about 20 square metres, where it will overwhelm the space
Access involves a staircase with tight turns

Sound and size

What The 500 Sounds Like

The middle and bottom open up at this length. It is the point where most players stop wishing for something longer. Against the Kawai No. 600 it is 4 cm shorter and 15 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.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

A used piano is only as good as the work done to it. Strings and dampers replaced where needed, hammers reshaped or renewed, the action regulated until repetition is even, pedal linkages set, case refinished. Then it is tuned and left to settle.

The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

For families not yet sure the lessons will stick. Rent a restored piano monthly, and if you keep it, everything paid comes off the price.

Questions

Kawai No. 500: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai No. 500?

178 cm long, 152 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 300 kg. On a grand the length is the number that matters, because it sets the bass string length and the floor space you need.

Will a 500 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.1 m² with room to sit and pass. 300 kg. We walk the route before the day rather than discovering it on the morning. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used 500 a safe buy?

Can I rent a 500 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a 500 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a 500 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. No stock today does not mean no stock next month. We watch for specific models.

How often does a 500 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do. We include the two tunings it needs after moving.
