In our world of used pianos, ebony Japanese uprights (Kawai or Yamaha) larger between 48 & 52 inches tall (“full uprights”) that sell for over $4,000 are plentiful staples of our inventory. Smaller non-ebony Japanese uprights priced under $4,000 are a small minority of our upright piano inventory. Such pianos appear in our inventory only a few times per year and are eagerly snapped up as fast as we can get them on our website. Therefore, this Kawai console is a wonderful and welcome addition to our inventory. At this price, we don’t expect it to be here very long. The cabinet is not 100% cosmetically perfect, with a scattering of tiny blemishes that would be impossible to remove without complete refinishing, but inside, where it matters most, it’s in barely-used condition with decades of useful life ahead of it. It carries our standard 10-year warranty on all parts and labor and a lifetime upgrade guarantee. Of course, for the same money, you could go out and buy a much smaller, significantly less refined new Kawai upright piano…but why on Earth would you want to?
