At 178 cm the KG-2C is a parlour grand, the size most music rooms end up choosing.
Room, floor, lift. Three answers and we can tell you if this is the right piano before you come in.
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.
Balanced rather than spectacular. For a room in a house that is exactly right. Same case as the Kawai KG-2, 16 kg heavier.
Among the lightest we list, in a range that runs from 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.
310 kg, moved in parts and reassembled in the room, then levelled and tuned once it is standing.
Kawai built several at 178 cm long: the KG-2, RX-2, No. 500. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the KG-2C is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Length | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai KG-2C This model | 178 cm | 310 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai RX-2 | 178 cm | 300 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai No. 500 | 178 cm | 300 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai KG-2 | 178 cm | 294 kg | 152 cm |
The risk with any used piano is buying somebody else's problem: polished case, fine for a month, then it will not hold a tuning. Ours are rebuilt twice before you see them, once in Japan and again in our own workshop here, and the second pass happens after the instrument has crossed the equator and shown us how it reacts to this climate.
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.
Renting first is the low-risk way in. Nothing you pay is wasted, because it counts toward buying the piano later.
Kawai's long-running grand line. The number tracks length: a KG-1 is 164 cm, a KG-8 is a 276 cm concert instrument.
178 cm long, 152 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 310 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 4.1 m² with room to sit and pass. 310 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.
The risk with any used piano is buying somebody else's problem: polished case, fine for a month, then it will not hold a tuning.

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 KG-2C 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. When we are out, we say so rather than steer you into whatever is on the floor.
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.
One message and we will tell you what we have, what it costs, and whether the KG-2C is really the right size for your room.
