Making the call

Is The BS-20 Right For You?

Read both. The second list is the one that saves people money.

Choose the BS-20 if

You want more bass without stepping into professional-weight territory
The room can take a bigger sound without going boomy
More than one person in the house plays seriously

Look at something else if

Your ceiling or wall space is genuinely tight
There is no service lift and the staircase has awkward turns

Sound and size

What The BS-20 Sounds Like

Fuller in the bass than a starter piano without turning into a big instrument. That balance is the whole reason this size exists.

Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 7 cm shorter. Middling for weight in a range that spans 160 kg to 270 kg.

Kawai voicing runs warmer than Yamaha at the same size, particularly up top. People who practise for hours tend to prefer it. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and twenty minutes at the shop settles it faster than any description.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the BS-20 you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included.

The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do.

Questions

Kawai BS-20: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai BS-20?

125 cm tall, 153 cm wide, 60 cm deep, and about 220 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a BS-20 fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 220 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.

Is a used BS-20 a safe buy?

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the BS-20 you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.

Can I rent a BS-20 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a BS-20 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a BS-20 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 BS-20 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do. We include the two tunings it needs after moving.
