The KG-6C runs to 222 cm. If it is going into a house, something else is probably the better buy.
Tell us the room, the floor and whether there is a lift. We will say whether this one works before you make the trip.
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.
Designed to be heard over an orchestra at the back of a hall. In a domestic room it produces more sound than the space can absorb. Against the Kawai KG-7D it is 2 cm shorter and 90 kg lighter.
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. It is a preference, not a ranking. Come and sit at both.
330 kg, moved in parts and reassembled in the room, then levelled and tuned once it is standing.
Nothing else we list from Kawai is exactly 222 cm long, so it sits on its own in the range. If the KG-6C is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Length | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai KG-6C This model | 222 cm | 330 kg | 155 cm |
| Kawai KG-7D | 224 cm | 420 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai GS-50 | 206 cm | 360 kg | 155 cm |
| Kawai CA-60 | 206 cm | 360 kg | 155 cm |
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.
For families not yet sure the lessons will stick. Rent a restored piano monthly, and if you keep it, everything paid comes off the price.
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.
222 cm long, 155 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 330 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 4.8 m² with room to sit and pass. 330 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.

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-6C 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. If nothing suits, we will tell you that too.
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.
Stock changes weekly. Message us and we will tell you whether a KG-6C is on the floor, send photos and the serial number, and say if something else suits you better.
