Making the call

Is The NS-25 Right For You?

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

Choose the NS-25 if

  • You want this to be the last piano you buy for a while
  • More than one person in the house plays seriously
  • 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
Sound and size

What The NS-25 Sounds Like

Fuller in the bass than a starter piano without turning into a big instrument. That balance is the whole reason this size exists. Against the Kawai NS-15M 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. There is no right answer here. Both are on the floor, so try them back to back.

Room and access

Will it get in?

  • Space: about 1.6 m of wall
  • Floor: roughly 1.0 m²
  • Case width 153 cm, depth 61 cm
  • Access: Service lift

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 NS-25 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.

Questions

Kawai NS-25: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai NS-25?

127 cm tall, 153 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 235 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a NS-25 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 NS-25 a safe buy?

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the NS-25 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 NS-25 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a NS-25 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a NS-25 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. If nothing suits, we will tell you that too.

How often does a NS-25 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.
