The KG-7D runs to 224 cm. If it is going into a house, something else is probably the better buy.
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.
The honest version. We would rather talk you out of the wrong piano than deliver it and hear about it later.
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-6C it is 2 cm taller and 90 kg heavier.
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.
420 kg is heavy enough that the building decides whether this is possible.
Nothing else we list from Kawai is exactly 224 cm long, so it sits on its own in the range. If the KG-7D is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Length | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai KG-7D This model | 224 cm | 420 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai KG-6C | 222 cm | 330 kg | 155 cm |
| Kawai GS-50 | 206 cm | 360 kg | 155 cm |
| Kawai CA-60 | 206 cm | 360 kg | 155 cm |
We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KG-7D 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.
If you are not ready to commit, rent one by the month. Decide to keep it and the rent you have paid comes off the purchase 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.
224 cm long, 154 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 420 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. 420 kg is heavy enough that the building decides whether this is possible. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.
We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KG-7D 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.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KG-7D specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.
Ask, because it changes week to week. No stock today does not mean no stock next month. We watch for specific models.
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.
Ask what is actually in the shop today. We will send photos of the specific piano, tell you what was replaced in the rebuild, and be honest if another model fits you better.
