THIS ITEM HAS BEEN SOLD. This 1995 Kawai Model 603-CF was a perfect example of a “furniture-style” console that didn’t compromise on musical quality. Standing at 43.5 inches, it offered a much fuller sound than a standard spinet, making it a favorite for homeowners who wanted a sophisticated aesthetic alongside a reliable acoustic action.

French Provençal Artistry: The 603-CF was part of Kawai’s “Decorator Series,” featuring a stunning French Provençal cabinet design. With its gracefully curved legs, ornate music desk, and warm Satin Oak finish, this piano was designed to be a centerpiece of fine furniture. The light oak grain provided a bright, organic look that complemented traditional and transitional home decors beautifully.

Kawai Reliability and Touch: Built in 1995, this instrument featured Kawai’s ultra-stable action components and a solid spruce soundboard. Kawai is world-renowned for its “warmer” and more “mellow” tonal profile compared to other Asian manufacturers. This console provided a responsive touch and excellent tuning stability, making it an ideal choice for a beginning student or a hobbyist seeking a quality practice instrument.

Unbeatable Clearance Value: At the final sale price of $1,329.30, the buyer acquired a modern, name-brand Kawai console for the price of an entry-level digital keyboard. It represented a rare opportunity to own a 90s-era Kawai in a premium decorator cabinet at a liquidation-level price.

Ideal For (Previously):

• Beginning Students: Who needed a real acoustic action to develop proper technique.
• Design-Conscious Homeowners: Looking for a light wood, French-styled piano for their living space.
• Value Seekers: Who recognized the incredible 30% discount on a high-quality Kawai instrument.

Comparison to New

New Equivalent (Modern Decorator Console): A new Kawai “Designer Series” console piano with similar ornate cabinetry typically retails between $7,500 and $9,500.

Value Analysis (At Time of Sale):

• Massive Savings: The buyer saved approximately $6,000–$8,000 compared to purchasing a new decorator console.
• Stability: Since the piano was built in the mid-90s, it featured modern manufacturing standards while being purchased at its “floor” value, making it a very smart financial and musical investment.
