A serious upright at 132 cm. It will not be outgrown, which is the point of buying one. Nothing else in the US series is bigger.
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.
The low register has real weight to it. Played hard it stays musical instead of turning percussive. Same case as the Kawai US-6X, 25 kg lighter.
Set against the Kawai No. K35, the most commonly sold used Kawai here, it is 10 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.
230 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job.
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-7X is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kawai US-7X This model | 132 cm | 230 kg | 154 cm |
| Kawai No. K35 | 132 cm | 220 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai No. K50 | 132 cm | 220 kg | 152 cm |
| Kawai BL-61 | 132 cm | 250 kg | 152 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, 65 cm deep, and about 230 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. 230 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job. Tell us the building and we will tell you whether this one can get in.
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-7X 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-7X is on the floor, send photos and the serial number, and say if something else suits you better.
