Kawai Grand Piano

Craig from Tawa

K. Kawai KG-3D Grand Piano: 6'1" long – a beautiful piano to play, and for your house! Sellers are professional musicians.

Finished in Mahogany – I understand that the mahogany finish cost more than black ebony, when it was new.

Here's what Wikipedia says:
Kawai grand pianos have evolved steadily over the decades from the Model 500/600 built in the 1960s and 1970s, to the KG Series in the 1980s and early 1990s that became popular among teachers and institutions. During these years, Kawai grand pianos earned a reputation for long-term, stable performance even in heavy use.

We've had this piano for about fifteen years – it was imported as a used piano from Japan. The bass end of the piano is rich and powerful, as the bass strings were replaced at the time we bought it. The treble is faring well for its age.

The piano is in Tawa, Wellington, with easy access to the street. It will need to be professionally moved, and there's only one step and a lintel from the living room to our driveway.

There is a mark/dent on the lid of the piano, but this is not visible when you open it to play the keys. There is also a working key for the lock on the piano. There are a few very minor dings around the front legs. The piano has been regularly tuned, serviced, and played.

Reason I'm selling: I'm taking over my mother's newer Kawai grand, as she is going into a retirement village, where there is not enough room for a grand piano.

I understand that the "K.Kawai" name on the piano was only used on Kawai's high-quality instruments.

Inspections welcomed by appointment only: ring/text Craig on 027-630-7435
We can also recommend an excellent piano mover.

Price: $12,900

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
