The US-65 is a full-height instrument. Long bass strings, big soundboard, and a moving job to match.
Tell us the room, the floor and whether there is a lift. We will say whether this one works before you make the trip.
Kawai
In the price, not added at the end.
Both sides of it. If the right-hand column sounds like your situation, say so and we will point you elsewhere.
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 50 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. There is no right answer here. Both are on the floor, so try them back to back.
270 kg is near the top of what an upright weighs. Staircases get quoted only after we see the access. The case is 67 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-65 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai US-65 This model | 132 cm | 270 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai US-75 | 132 cm | 270 kg | 156 cm |
| Kawai US-55 | 132 cm | 265 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai US-63H | 132 cm | 265 kg | 154 cm |
Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of.
Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it.
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, 67 cm deep, and about 270 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. 270 kg is near the top of what an upright weighs. Staircases get quoted only after we see the access. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.
Every Kawai we sell has been through a full restoration in Japan and a second rebuild in Selangor. The second one matters most, because by then the piano has been through a humidity change we can actually see the effects of. Five years of parts and labour cover comes with it, from the same people who rebuilt it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a US-65 specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.
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. Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it. Two tunings after delivery are included when you buy from us.
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.
