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

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
