132 cm and 265 kg. The tallest class Kawai made, with the string length to justify it.
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.
The honest version. We would rather talk you out of the wrong piano than deliver it and hear about it later.
This is as close as an upright gets to a grand in the bass. It also needs a room that can take that much sound.
Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 45 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.
265 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-70 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai US-70 This model | 132 cm | 265 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai US-55 | 132 cm | 265 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai US-63H | 132 cm | 265 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai No. K48 | 132 cm | 260 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.
Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it.
For families not yet sure the lessons will stick. Rent a restored piano monthly, and if you keep it, everything paid comes off the 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 265 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. 265 kg. Heavy enough that the move needs planning rather than optimism. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.
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. It carries a five-year warranty on parts and labour, honoured by the workshop that did the work.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a US-70 specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.
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. Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it. The first two tunings are on us, once it has settled in.
Stock changes weekly. Message us and we will tell you whether a US-70 is on the floor, send photos and the serial number, and say if something else suits you better.
