Kawai KG-6

[Farrell]

Hello Mark. I'll bite on this one only because I have not seen any other responses. I service a few Kawais from the KG series - mostly the smaller ones KG-1, 2, and 3 (six-soot-something). I just serviced a KG-3 a week or so ago. I don't know these pianos inside-out by any means - all I can really offer is a general impression.

They seem decent to me. I think I generally would be more impressed with their RX series pianos, but the KGs I have seen seem to be well built and function well and do not differ in major ways from the RX. I would assume the KGs would have a new price below that of the current RX series. (I would rate the KG series as way better than any of the YCs and Sammys from the same era.) My guess is that a 7-foot RX would go for low $20Ks? So that might put this asking price not too far out of range, but maybe on the high side of the range.

Am I being nebulous enough?

Terry Farrell
