Making the call

Is The GS-30 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 GS-30 if

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
You are fitting out a studio, a school room or a hall

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

Sound and size

What The GS-30 Sounds Like

Built for projection. That is wonderful on a stage and difficult at home.

Middling for weight in a range that spans 272 kg to 510 kg.

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 GS-30s 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.

Questions

Kawai GS-30: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai GS-30?

186 cm long, 151 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 325 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 GS-30 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.2 m² with room to sit and pass. 325 kg, moved in parts and reassembled in the room, then levelled and tuned once it is standing. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used GS-30 a safe buy?

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two GS-30s 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 GS-30 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a GS-30 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 GS-30 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. If nothing suits, we will tell you that too.

How often does a GS-30 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.
