A 182 cm grand. This is where the instrument starts sounding like what people picture.
Give us the floor and the lift situation and we will be straight with you about whether this one suits.
Kawai
In the price, not added at the end.
Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.
Balanced rather than spectacular. For a room in a house that is exactly right.
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.
315 kg. We walk the route before the day rather than discovering it on the morning.
Kawai built several at 182 cm long: the KG-3D, No. 600. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the KG-3C is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Length | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai KG-3C This model | 182 cm | 315 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai KG-3D | 182 cm | 315 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai No. 600 | 182 cm | 315 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai KG-3 | 186 cm | 315 kg | 152 cm |
Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of.
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.
Not sure yet? Rent monthly and decide later. What you have paid in rent comes straight off the price if you keep it.
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.
182 cm long, 152 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 315 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 4.2 m² with room to sit and pass. 315 kg. We walk the route before the day rather than discovering it on the morning. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.
Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KG-3C specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.
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. 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.
We would rather point you at the right piano than sell you this one. Tell us what you need and we will say what we have.
