Buying Advice Kawai BS20 BS 20 or Yamaha U3 E

on: July 21, 2015, 02:50:10 AM

Hi,
I am looking to buy a Kawai BS20 for about AUD 5,000 (=USD 3,700 atm, GBP 2,400). There is aloso a Yamaha U3E on offer for slightly less. They are both refurbished and present well.

1. Is the price for the BS20 fair? What would be a fair price?
2. How do the U3 and the BS20 compare?
3. Any general views on the BS20 or on Kawai pianos in general (I like the heavier touch)

I am grateful for any opinions or recommendations.
