Making the call

Is The KST-5 Right For You?

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

Choose the KST-5 if

A child is starting lessons and will be at it for years
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-5 Sounds Like

There is enough string length for the middle of the keyboard to sing properly. The bass is honest rather than huge, which is the trade at this size.

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. There is no right answer here. Both are on the floor, so try them back to back.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two KST-5s can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it.

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.

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-5: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai KST-5?

115 cm tall, 150 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 200 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a KST-5 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 KST-5 a safe buy?

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two KST-5s can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.

Can I rent a KST-5 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a KST-5 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a KST-5 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 KST-5 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.
