Making the call

Is The KS-3F 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 KS-3F if

You want more bass without stepping into professional-weight territory
You want this to be the last piano you buy for a while
The room can take a bigger sound without going boomy

Look at something else if

Your ceiling or wall space is genuinely tight
There is no service lift and the staircase has awkward turns

Tell Us Your Situation

Sound and size

What The KS-3F Sounds Like

The extra centimetres go into the bass strings, and you hear it below middle C. Chords have something underneath them. Against the Kawai KS-2A it is 2 cm taller and 15 kg heavier.

Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 5 cm shorter and 15 kg heavier. 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.

235 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KS-3F you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included.

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.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

Renting first is the low-risk way in. Nothing you pay is wasted, because it counts toward buying the piano later.

Questions

Kawai KS-3F: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai KS-3F?

127 cm tall, 152 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 235 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a KS-3F fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 235 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.

Is a used KS-3F a safe buy?

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the KS-3F you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.

Can I rent a KS-3F instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KS-3F 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 KS-3F in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. When we are out, we say so rather than steer you into whatever is on the floor.

How often does a KS-3F 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.
