A 125 cm case and 220 kg. More instrument than a starter piano, less commitment than the tall ones.
Room, floor, lift. Three answers and we can tell you if this is the right piano before you come in.
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.
This is where the left hand starts getting proper support. Above middle C the difference is smaller than the height suggests.
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. Neither is better. Play both, which you can do on one floor at the shop.
At 220 kg it is an ordinary move. Lift, fine. Stairs, tell us how many and which way they turn.
Kawai built several at 125 cm tall: the No. K20, K-5, No. KS2, BL-31 and 11 others. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the KS-2A is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai KS-2A This model | 125 cm | 220 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai BS-20 | 125 cm | 220 kg | 153 cm |
| Kawai BS-25 | 125 cm | 220 kg | 153 cm |
| Kawai KU-2 | 125 cm | 220 kg | 152 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.
Not sure yet? Rent monthly and decide later. What you have paid in rent comes straight off the price if you keep it.
A later domestic line with the F suffix. Heights step in tight increments, so there is usually one that matches an awkward wall.
125 cm tall, 152 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 220 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². At 220 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.
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 KS-2A 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. If we do not have one, we will say so and tell you what is close on size and weight.
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.
We would rather point you at the right piano than sell you this one. Tell us what you need and we will say what we have.
