Making the call

Is The KG-5C Right For You?

The honest version. We would rather talk you out of the wrong piano than deliver it and hear about it later.

Choose the KG-5C if

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

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-5C Sounds Like

In a hall this is a serious instrument. In a lounge it mostly tells you how reflective your walls are.

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. Neither is better. Play both, which you can do on one floor at the shop.

Room and access

Will it get in?

Space: about 2.1 m across
Floor: roughly 4.6 m² with room to sit and pass

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

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KG-5C you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included.

Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it.

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-5C: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai KG-5C?

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-5C 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. Tell us the building and we will tell you whether this one can get in.

Is a used KG-5C a safe buy?

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KG-5C you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included. It carries a five-year warranty on parts and labour, honoured by the workshop that did the work.

Can I rent a KG-5C instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KG-5C specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.

Do you have a KG-5C in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. No stock today does not mean no stock next month. We watch for specific models.

How often does a KG-5C need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it. The first two tunings are on us, once it has settled in.
