KAWAI GL-10 BABY GRAND PIANO (GL10 / GL 10)

 
The GL Series Grand Pianos possess all the essential qualities that have made Kawai pianos a preferred choice of pianists and educators for generations. They were conceived with one goal: to provide exceptional touch and tone that endures.
 
In 2016, the Kawai GL Series Professional Grand Pianos were named “Product of the Year” by MMR Magazine. This honour positioned the GL Series as the most popular piano line in the global music products industry. It confirmed the exceptional quality and performance of this outstanding line of instruments. Made in Japan, the GL-10 offers the same careful attention to detail and quality found in our larger pianos—with a classic “baby grand” profile that will adapt to almost any room.
 
Craftsmanship within a classic “baby grand” profile

“The elegance of a grand piano.”

The Millennium III action
 
The Millennium III Action is made from ABS-Carbon, a strong and lightweight composite combining carbon fibre with ABS Styran. This durable material allows for lighter action parts without losing strength, resulting in a faster, more powerful, and stable performance than traditional all-wood actions.
 
Longer keys
 
Longer keys make playing easier and ensure a consistent feel across the entire surface. Their taller profile and concert-length buttons add rigidity, allowing for better energy transfer and power.
 

 
Tapered Soundboard Made of Solid Spruce
 
The soundboard is vital for a piano, converting string vibrations into a rich sound. Kawai uses high-quality, straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce for the GL series soundboards. Each soundboard is carefully tapered to ensure the right resonance in different areas. Only those that meet Kawai’s strict quality standards are used in the GL series grand pianos.
 

 
SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design)
 
SOLID construction provides a strong foundation for string tension. First, the pinblock is attached to the plate. Next, the pinblock and stretcher bar are combined and securely fixed to the rim. The thick stretcher bar highlights the strength of this framework, which is designed for stable tuning and a powerful sound.
 

 
V-Pro Plate
 
The plate is the acoustically neutral iron superstructure of the piano over which the strings are tensioned. All GL Series plates are molded using the Vacuum Mold Process (V-Pro) with “Crossbone Design.” The result is a plate that is strong, stable, and beautiful.
