Kawai KG-2 Grand Piano

[pianosrule]

I'm thinking of purchasing a used Kawai KG-2 grand piano.  It's 5'10".  Is the Kawai KG-2 a good piano?  Your opinions please or any problems with this particular model?

I like the KG series.  It has a lot of singing power, although the newer RX seem to have a more colorful tone.

I have a used KG-6 and LOVE it!

I have a Kawai Grand and I really like it.

 Kawai is a high quality piano. Some love it, some don't. You can start with that. If you love it, its definitely worth it. Compare it to other piano in its price range. If you don't love it, don't take our word for it. That simple.
Personally, I like Kawai.

I just tried one yesterday at a piano store and really was impressed with the sound. I liked it more than the Yamaha's I tried there in similar sizes. Bass tones were better in my opinion and the action felt better to me (I tend to like a bit softer action). I have found I tend to play hard (Rock and roll, blues) and will sit at a piano for a few hours when I get the time, so a harder action (Which I think classical and really advanced players like) tends to fatigue my hands faster. Stiffer action is probably better to enable more artistic (Soft emotional passages) playing.

I had never even considered a Kawai before. The price my store had listed for a 20 year old one was $10k (USD) which was probably $2k-$3k more than a private seller would ask, but it came with a warranty, free delivery and a tuning or two. I have been told and read you will need to tune a piano 3-4 times in the first year you have it in your home, as piano's settle in to their new environment. I'm okay with letting the store make a profit if they stand behind their pianos.
