Kawai KS-1F Upright Piano

A 124 cm case. Enough string length to sound like a piano, small enough that the room still works. It is the shortest KS-F we list.

Making the call

Is The KS-1F Right For You?

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

Choose the KS-1F if

You want something that resells easily if plans change
The room is normal rather than generous
A child is starting lessons and will be at it for years

Look at something else if

A teacher has specifically asked for a full-height instrument
The room is large and hard-surfaced, where a taller piano would carry better

Tell Us Your Situation

Sound and size

What The KS-1F Sounds Like

It sounds like a piano rather than a small piano, which is not true of everything in this height class. Against the Kawai KS-2A it is 1 cm shorter and 20 kg lighter.

Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 8 cm shorter and 20 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. It is a preference, not a ranking. Come and sit at both.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KS-1F 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.

Where The KS-1F Sits In The Range

A later domestic line with the F suffix. Heights step in tight increments, so there is usually one that matches an awkward wall.

Questions

Kawai KS-1F: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai KS-1F?

124 cm tall, 152 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 200 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a KS-1F fit my place?

You need about 1.5 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². At 200 kg it is an ordinary move. Lift, fine. Stairs, tell us how many and which way they turn. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used KS-1F a safe buy?

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KS-1F 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 KS-1F instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KS-1F specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a KS-1F 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 KS-1F 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.
