Making the call

Is The KG-5 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 KG-5 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 KG-5 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.

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. It is a preference, not a ranking. Come and sit at both.

Room and access

Will it get in?

Space: about 2.1 m across
Floor: roughly 4.6 m² with room to sit and pass
Case width 155 cm, height 102 cm
Access: Wide access needed

375 kg is heavy enough that the building decides whether this is possible.

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.

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 KG-5: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai KG-5?

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 KG-5 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.6 m² with room to sit and pass. 375 kg is heavy enough that the building decides whether this is possible. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used KG-5 a safe buy?

Can I rent a KG-5 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KG-5 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 KG-5 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 KG-5 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.
