Making the call

Is The KST-3 Right For You?

The honest version. We would rather talk you out of the wrong piano than deliver it and hear about it later.

Choose the KST-3 if

You want something that resells easily if plans change
The room is normal rather than generous
You want a piano that sounds properly like one without taking over the room

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 KST-3 Sounds Like

It sounds like a piano rather than a small piano, which is not true of everything in this height class.

Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 17 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. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and twenty minutes at the shop settles it faster than any description.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

The risk with any used piano is buying somebody else's problem: polished case, fine for a month, then it will not hold a tuning. Ours are rebuilt twice before you see them, once in Japan and again in our own workshop here, and the second pass happens after the instrument has crossed the equator and shown us how it reacts to this climate.

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.

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 KST-3: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai KST-3?

115 cm tall, 149 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 200 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a KST-3 fit my place?

You need about 1.5 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 200 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.

Is a used KST-3 a safe buy?

Can I rent a KST-3 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KST-3 specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.

Do you have a KST-3 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 KST-3 need tuning in Malaysia?

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.
