Making the call

Is The US-6X Right For You?

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

Choose the US-6X if

  • The player is preparing for practical exams or teaches at home
  • You have the floor space and the access to take a large upright
  • You want the closest thing to a grand that still stands against a wall

Look at something else if

  • There is no service lift and the piano has to go upstairs
  • The room is small, where a big instrument mostly produces reverberation
  • Nobody in the house plays beyond early grades yet
Sound and size

What The US-6X Sounds Like

The low register has real weight to it. Played hard it stays musical instead of turning percussive. Same case as the Kawai US-50, 5 kg lighter.

Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 35 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.

Room and access

Will it get in?

  • Space: about 1.6 m of wall
  • Floor: roughly 1.1 m²
  • Case width 154 cm, depth 65 cm
  • Access: Lift needed

At 255 kg this needs a lift. We will look at the route before agreeing to anything else.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

A used piano is only as good as the work done to it. Strings and dampers replaced where needed, hammers reshaped or renewed, the action regulated until repetition is even, pedal linkages set, case refinished. Then it is tuned and left to settle.

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 US-6X: What People Ask

How big is the Kawai US-6X?

132 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 255 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a US-6X fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². At 255 kg this needs a lift. We will look at the route before agreeing to anything else. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.

Is a used US-6X a safe buy?

A used piano is only as good as the work done to it. Strings and dampers replaced where needed, hammers reshaped or renewed, the action regulated until repetition is even, pedal linkages set, case refinished. Then it is tuned and left to settle. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.

Can I rent a US-6X instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a US-6X specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a US-6X in stock?

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.

How often does a US-6X 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.
