Kawai GX-2, GX-3, GX-2 Aures, or just stay with a K-500?
on: April 14, 2022, 12:15:08 AM
Hi—
I own a Kawai K-500 Upright Piano and I love it. There’s a few things I’d like to tweak on it, such as having a sostenuto pedal, having the music shelf available when the key cover is closed, being able to put a light on-top of it with the lid open, etc.
As such, I’ve been thinking about upgrading it to a GX-2 or a GX-3. I need to try a GX-3 in person, but it sounds better on the comparison videos I’ve watched.
Now, I do use my practice pedal once in a while and that’s not an option with these. Would it make sense to get Aures or just get a keyboard instead? I’m leaning towards the latter as seems like it would last longer and be somewhat cheaper.
The second concern is that where it would best fit into the room I would put it in, it would be within 4-6 feet of a fireplace that is almost never used and an electronic wall-mount heater. Is the latter a real issue?
Any thoughts, advice, or alternatives? Thanks!

I don't think you need upgrade to GX-2 or GX-3, if you like Kawai brand, pay more, buy SK-2... LOLOLOL~
