Making the call

Is The BS-2A 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 BS-2A if

Grades are coming and the player has outgrown a small instrument
You have a landed house or a ground-floor unit with space to spare
You want this to be the last piano you buy for a while

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-2A Sounds Like

This is where the left hand starts getting proper support. Above middle C the difference is smaller than the height suggests. Same case as the Kawai BS-20, 5 kg lighter.

Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 7 cm shorter and 5 kg lighter. 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.

Room and access

Will it get in?

Space: about 1.6 m of wall
Floor: roughly 1.0 m²
Case width 153 cm, depth 59 cm
Access: Lift preferred

215 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. At 59 cm front to back it is one of the shallower cases in the range, which is worth knowing if the hallway it has to pass through is narrow.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

The risk with any used piano is buying somebody else's problem: polished case, fine for a month, then it will not hold a tuning. Ours are rebuilt twice before you see them, once in Japan and again in our own workshop here, and the second pass happens after the instrument has crossed the equator and shown us how it reacts to this climate.

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.

Questions

Kawai BS-2A: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai BS-2A?

125 cm tall, 153 cm wide, 59 cm deep, and about 215 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a BS-2A fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 215 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. Tell us the building and we will tell you whether this one can get in.

Is a used BS-2A a safe buy?

Can I rent a BS-2A instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a BS-2A specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.

Do you have a BS-2A 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 BS-2A 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.
