Making the call

Is The 650 Right For You?

Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.

Choose the 650 if

You are fitting out a studio, a school room or a hall
You teach, accompany or record and need an instrument that holds up
The room is large enough that a smaller grand would sound thin in it

Look at something else if

This is a family living room rather than a studio
You cannot give it clearance on all sides with the lid open

Tell Us Your Situation

Sound and size

What The 650 Sounds Like

In a hall this is a serious instrument. In a lounge it mostly tells you how reflective your walls are. Against the Kawai No. 600 it is 22 cm taller and 60 kg heavier.

Middling for weight in a range that spans 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

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two No. 650s can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it.

Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

Renting first is the low-risk way in. Nothing you pay is wasted, because it counts toward buying the piano later.

Questions

Kawai No. 650: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai No. 650?

204 cm long, 155 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 375 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 650 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.6 m² with room to sit and pass. At 375 kg this needs proper access. Tell us the building before you fall for the piano. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used 650 a safe buy?

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two No. 650s can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.

Can I rent a 650 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a 650 specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.

Do you have a 650 in stock?

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.

How often does a 650 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will. Two free tunings in the first fortnight come with the piano.
