Kawai GL-10 Polished Ebony

Kawai GL-10 polished ebony baby grand piano

GL Series: Kawai grand technology in a compact size

The GL Series offers the natural mechanics of a grand piano in more flexible dimensions for homes, music schools, studios, and small performance venues. Since each model’s string scale, soundboard, and cabinet volume are built to suit its size, the GL-10 creates its own unique bass depth, projection, and resonance within the series.

Millennium III Action

The Millennium III grand action uses ABS-Carbon components reinforced with carbon fiber. These lightweight and rigid parts help transfer key movement to the hammer quickly, enabling clear articulation of repeated notes and stable control across various dynamics. Extended keys provide a more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface.

Solid spruce soundboard

Crafted from straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce, the soundboard is tapered to create the correct flexibility in every zone. This structure converts the energy of the strings into a warm, clear, and balanced tone. Hammers with premium underfelt support a natural balance between the fundamental sound and harmonic richness.

Robust construction and tuning stability

The SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) system creates a stable foundation for string tension by firmly integrating the pinblock and the stretcher into the cabinet. The cast iron plate, produced using the V-Pro vacuum casting method, precisely supports high tension.
