Making the call

Is The K50 Right For You?

Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.

Choose the K50 if

The player is preparing for practical exams or teaches at home
You have the floor space and the access to take a large upright
There is a service lift, so the weight is not the problem

Look at something else if

There is no service lift and the piano has to go upstairs
The room is small, where a big instrument mostly produces reverberation
Nobody in the house plays beyond early grades yet

Tell Us Your Situation

Sound and size

What The K50 Sounds Like

Full-length bass strings and the biggest soundboard in the range. It fills a room without being forced, which is what teachers listen for.

Same footprint and weight as the Kawai No. K35, which is the most commonly sold used Kawai in the country. Middling for weight in a range that spans 160 kg to 270 kg.

Pianos of this generation often left the factory with two pedals. A third gets fitted during the rebuild.

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.

Room and access

Will it get in?

Space: about 1.6 m of wall
Floor: roughly 1.1 m²
Case width 152 cm, depth 61 cm
Access: Lift preferred

220 kg goes into a service lift without drama. A short flight of stairs is workable if we walk it first.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

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.

Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will.

Where The K50 Sits In The Range

The first generation of Kawai uprights, and the line the later series grew out of. Many left the factory with two pedals and have had a third fitted during restoration.

Questions

Kawai No. K50: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai No. K50?

132 cm tall, 152 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 220 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a K50 fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 220 kg goes into a service lift without drama. A short flight of stairs is workable if we walk it first. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used K50 a safe buy?

Can I rent a K50 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a K50 specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.

Do you have a K50 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 K50 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will. Two free tunings in the first fortnight come with the piano.
