A Genuine Kawai KG-2C Grand Piano The Kawai KG-2C is a well-established model from Kawai's highly regarded KG series of grand pianos.
At approximately 178cm long , it is a substantial grand piano that offers a significantly different playing experience from an upright piano.
The longer strings, larger soundboard and grand piano action contribute to the depth, projection and expressive potential that pianists associate with a grand piano.
The KG-2C is also a practical size for a grand piano. At around 5'10", it provides considerable acoustic presence without being as large as a concert grand or full-size performance instrument.
This makes it an attractive option for:
Home pianists Experienced players Adult learners Advanced students Piano teachers Serious amateur pianists Families with a strong interest in music Anyone looking to move from an upright to a grand piano Customers looking for an excellent-value second hand grand
Japanese-Made Kawai Piano This Kawai KG-2C dates from approximately 1980 and was manufactured in Japan.
Kawai's KG series represents an important period in the company's grand piano production, with the KG models becoming widely used in homes, teaching environments and by more experienced players.
This particular piano has now been around for several decades, but its continued appeal is easy to understand.
The combination of its substantial size, traditional grand piano construction and beautiful polished mahogany cabinet gives it a timeless quality.
For someone who appreciates an acoustic piano with character, a well-looked-after KG-2C can be a very attractive proposition.
Serial Number The serial number of this piano is:
1204667
Kawai's published serial-number information places serial numbers around 1.126 million at the start of 1980 and around 1.219 million at the start of 1981 , so serial number 1204667 is consistent with a piano manufactured around 1980 , as described for this instrument. Kawai notes that serial numbers for different models are not always sequential, so dating should be regarded as approximate.
Beautiful Polished Mahogany Cabinet This Kawai KG-2C is finished in polished mahogany .
The warm mahogany finish gives the piano a classic appearance and can work beautifully in a traditional or contemporary home.
As you would expect from a piano of approximately 40 years of age, there are some signs of general wear and tear.
We are not presenting this as a newly restored cabinet. Instead, the condition is described honestly: good overall externally, with some general signs of previous use, but respectable for its age .
The photographs on the product page should give you a clear representation of the actual piano.
The overall appearance is very attractive, particularly considering the age of the instrument.
Clean Internally The inside of the piano is nice and clean , which is another pleasing feature of this particular example.
The internal condition gives a good impression of a piano that has been cared for rather than simply left untouched over many years.
For anyone considering a second hand grand piano, being able to see inside the instrument is important.
The photographs will allow you to see the interior condition for yourself, while the description gives you further information about its history and preparation.
Regularly Tuned and at Concert Pitch This Kawai KG-2C has been regularly tuned and is currently at concert pitch .
That is an important advantage when considering a second hand acoustic piano.
Regular tuning is an essential part of looking after an acoustic piano, and the fact that this piano has been regularly tuned is encouraging.
The piano will also receive further professional attention before it leaves us.
Tuned, Checked and Regulated Before Despatch Before the piano is despatched to its new owner, it will be:
Tuned
Checked
Regulated
This work will be carried out by our approved technicians .
Although the piano is already at concert pitch, we will give it another professional preparation before it leaves Rimmers Music.
This provides an additional level of reassurance when buying a second hand acoustic piano online.
The Grand Piano Advantage A grand piano offers a different playing experience from an upright.
The horizontal arrangement of the strings, larger soundboard and grand action allow the instrument to respond differently to the pianist's touch.
For someone who has spent years playing an upright, moving to a grand can open up a new level of expression.
The player's control of dynamics, phrasing and tone becomes particularly important when playing more advanced repertoire.
The longer design of the KG-2C also allows it to produce a fuller acoustic sound than many smaller grands.
At 178cm , it sits in a very useful middle ground: large enough to offer substantial tonal presence while remaining manageable enough for many domestic and teaching environments.
The Kawai KG-2C's 178cm length, 151cm width and approximately 310kg weight are consistent with published specifications for this model.
88-Key Grand Piano Keyboard The KG-2C has a full 88-note keyboard .
This gives the player the complete traditional piano range, from the lowest bass notes through to the highest treble.
For students, this means there is no need to compromise as they progress through more advanced repertoire.
For experienced pianists, the complete 88-note range allows the full scope of piano repertoire to be played as intended.
Three Pedals The Kawai KG-2C has the traditional three-pedal grand piano configuration .
These are:
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain / Damper pedal
The three pedals give the pianist the full range of control expected from a grand piano and allow more advanced pedalling techniques to be used.
Published specifications for the KG-2C consistently identify the model as an 88-key grand with three pedals.
Approximately 178cm Long The KG-2C measures approximately:
Length: 178cm Width: 151cm Height: 100cm
This is approximately 5 feet 10 inches in length.
At this size, the KG-2C offers considerably more acoustic presence than a typical small baby grand while remaining suitable for many domestic music rooms.
When planning for a grand piano, it is important to allow sufficient room not only for the piano itself but also for the pianist's seat and space around the instrument.
The measurements above should therefore be considered when checking that the piano will suit your intended room.
A Grand Piano for the Home One of the most appealing things about the KG-2C is its versatility.
It is a substantial grand, but not so large that it necessarily requires a concert hall or enormous music room.
A 178cm grand can work beautifully in:
Larger living rooms Dedicated music rooms Home studios Teaching environments Conservatories where climate conditions are suitable Schools and music departments Churches and performance spaces Private practice rooms
Naturally, the acoustic environment and access to the property should always be considered when purchasing a grand piano.
Our team can discuss access requirements with you before delivery.
A Wonderful Choice for a Pianist Moving Up from an Upright If you currently own an upright piano and have been considering moving to a grand, the Kawai KG-2C is an exciting option.
The difference in physical design and playing experience can be significant.
A grand piano offers the pianist a different relationship with the instrument, particularly when it comes to repetition, dynamics and control.
The 178cm KG-2C also provides the scale required to produce a more substantial sound than many smaller grands.
For an experienced player, this can be particularly rewarding.
For an advanced student, it can provide a wonderful piano on which to continue developing.
Suitable for Beginners Too Although a piano of this size will appeal particularly strongly to experienced pianists, there is nothing to prevent a beginner from learning on a KG-2C.
In fact, a beginner who starts on a good-quality acoustic grand has plenty of room to develop.
The student can begin with simple exercises and gradually progress towards more demanding repertoire without needing to change instruments.
The piano can therefore be a long-term musical companion.
Honest Description of Condition We believe second hand piano listings should describe condition clearly and honestly.
This Kawai KG-2C is approximately 40 years old.
It therefore has some general signs of wear and tear.
Externally, we would describe the overall condition as good and respectable for its age .
It is not a newly restored or flawless cabinet, and customers should expect some evidence of previous use.
Internally, however, the piano is nice and clean and has been well maintained from a tuning perspective.
The piano has been regularly tuned and is currently at concert pitch .
The combination of appearance, internal condition and playing state makes this a particularly attractive second hand grand piano.
Excellent Value for Money One of the biggest attractions of buying second hand is the opportunity to purchase a significantly more substantial piano for your budget.
The KG-2C is a genuine grand piano of approximately 178cm in length.
That makes it a very different proposition from an entry-level baby grand or a basic upright.
You get the traditional grand piano format, 88 keys, three pedals, a substantial soundboard and the presence of a proper acoustic grand.
For anyone who has always wanted a grand piano but does not want to pay the price of a brand-new instrument, this is exactly the kind of piano worth considering.
