I would be surprised if they were expensive or difficult to replace. If it failed under normal use, it would still be covered under warranty (just barely). The soft fall mechanism is a nice feature, but hardly a core issue as no kawai uprights had them before about 1998. That said, you should have any used piano that you are considering purchasing inspected by a technician.

If I go acoustic, I'd aim for that size. Kawai CN35. Daughter wanted a piano, so we got one. Now who'll learn faster? ;-)
