Kawai BL31

Colour: Black polyester
Year: 1976

The Kawai BL-31 is a compact acoustic grand piano from Kawai’s long running BL series, a range that became well regarded for offering dependable Japanese build quality in a traditionally styled instrument. Designed primarily for domestic settings, the BL-31 provides the touch and tonal benefits of a grand piano while maintaining a relatively small footprint.

Manufactured in Japan, the BL-31 features a solid spruce soundboard and a robust rim construction, contributing to a clear, balanced tonal character. The action is designed for consistency and reliability, offering good control and an even response across the keyboard. Tonally, the BL-31 is typically clean and focused, with a controlled bass and a singing treble that suits practice, teaching and general home use.

The BL series reflects Kawai’s emphasis on precision engineering and long term durability rather than overtly complex tonal colouring. Well maintained examples of the BL-31 are appreciated for their tuning stability, straightforward musical character and practical ownership qualities, making them a sensible and respected choice within the smaller grand piano category.

This Kawai BL-31 upright piano is available for sale in our Oxfordshire piano showrooms. It is possible to purchase online however we would encourage you to come and play the piano in our extensive showroom if you're able to. We always recommend a visit but we are happy to send further detailed information and videos to you if you're unable to see the piano yourself.
