Kawai KG-5D Grand Piano | 6'8" | 1981

Kawai KG-5D Grand Piano — 6'8" | Built 1981

The KG-5D holds a special place in Kawai's lineup — and for good reason. Built in 1981, during what many restoration technicians regard as a high point in Kawai's craftsmanship, this piano carries the kind of depth and responsiveness that's hard to find at this price point.

At 6'8", the longer string scale and generous soundboard give it a tonal presence that punches well above its class. The bass is full and grounded, the treble sings without thinning out, and the dynamic range makes it equally at home in a teaching studio or on a small performance stage.

The action is everything you'd expect from this era of Kawai — balanced, consistent, and expressive. Whether you're working through quiet, detailed passages or pushing into something more demanding, it responds cleanly without fighting you.

As for condition: this is a 44-year-old piano, and it looks like one up close — some cosmetic dullness here and there, typical of its age. But structurally, it's solid. No major damage, no surprises.

A retired model from Kawai's own collection, the KG-5D doesn't come up often. If you're a serious player, educator, or just someone who wants a genuinely great instrument, it's worth your attention.
