At 132 cm this is a full-height upright, which is what teachers mean when they ask for a proper piano.
Send the room size and which floor it is going to. If it will not fit, we would rather tell you now than on delivery day.
Kawai
In the price, not added at the end.
Read both. The second list is the one that saves people money.
Full-length bass strings and the biggest soundboard in the range. It fills a room without being forced, which is what teachers listen for.
Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 40 kg heavier. Near the top of the weight range, which runs from 160 kg up 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.
260 kg. Heavy enough that the move needs planning rather than optimism. The case is 66 cm deep, which is more than most. Measure the doorway rather than assuming it will turn.
Kawai built several at 132 cm tall: the No. K35, No. K48, No. K50, BL-61 and 19 others. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the US-60 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai US-60 This model | 132 cm | 260 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai No. K48 | 132 cm | 260 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai BL-71 | 132 cm | 260 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai BL-82 | 132 cm | 260 kg | 154 cm |
We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the US-60 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.
If you are not ready to commit, rent one by the month. Decide to keep it and the rent you have paid comes off the purchase price.
Kawai's professional line, and the heaviest uprights they built for homes and institutions. Long strings and weights that need planning.
132 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 66 cm deep, and about 260 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 260 kg. Heavy enough that the move needs planning rather than optimism. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.
We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the US-60 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.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a US-60 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.
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. 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.
Ask what is actually in the shop today. We will send photos of the specific piano, tell you what was replaced in the rebuild, and be honest if another model fits you better.
