At 122 cm and 210 kg, this is the size that fits a normal living room without any negotiation.
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.
There is enough string length for the middle of the keyboard to sing properly. The bass is honest rather than huge, which is the trade at this size.
Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 10 cm shorter and 10 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. There is no right answer here. Both are on the floor, so try them back to back.
210 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. At 56 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.
Kawai built several at 122 cm tall: the No. K8, CL-3, AT-22. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the CL-2 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai CL-2 This model | 122 cm | 210 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai CL-3 | 122 cm | 210 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai No. K8 | 122 cm | 200 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai AT-22 | 122 cm | 222 kg | 150 cm |
Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of.
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.
Slim-cased uprights with a shallower depth than the rest of the range.
122 cm tall, 152 cm wide, 56 cm deep, and about 210 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
You need about 1.5 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 210 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.
Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of. 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 CL-2 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.
