Making the call

Is The RX-3 Right For You?

Both sides of it. If the right-hand column sounds like your situation, say so and we will point you elsewhere.

Choose the RX-3 if

You are fitting out a studio, a school room or a hall
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

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

Tell Us Your Situation

Sound and size

What The RX-3 Sounds Like

Bass that carries without effort, and a treble that keeps singing when pushed. It needs a big room to make sense. Against the Kawai RX-2 it is 8 cm taller and 26 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.

Room and access

Will it get in?

Space: about 2.1 m across
Floor: roughly 4.2 m² with room to sit and pass
Case width 152 cm, height 102 cm
Access: Lift, planned move

At 326 kg the route matters: door widths, lift depth, and how the landing turns.

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.

Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it.

Questions

Kawai RX-3: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai RX-3?

186 cm long, 152 cm wide, 102 cm tall, and about 326 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 RX-3 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.2 m² with room to sit and pass. At 326 kg the route matters: door widths, lift depth, and how the landing turns. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used RX-3 a safe buy?

Can I rent a RX-3 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a RX-3 specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.

Do you have a RX-3 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 RX-3 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it. Two tunings after delivery are included when you buy from us.
