Kawai GX-3 Acoustic Grand Piano

Kawai GX-3 professional acoustic grand piano

Kawai GX-3, at 188 cm long, combines a wide tonal palette, rich bass, and fast mechanical response. Due to its universal size, it is one of the most flexible choices for professionals in the GX series.

Ryuyo craftsmanship and the character of the GX series

The GX series combines Kawai's traditional grand piano manufacturing in Ryuyo, Japan, with modern materials engineering. The tonal goal of the series is to offer a natural transition between registers, wide dynamics, clear projection, and reliable mechanical control for the pianist. With a string scale and soundboard adapted to its size, the GX-3 showcases these features with a unique sound volume and resonance duration.

Millennium III grand piano action

The Millennium III action uses ABS-Carbon components reinforced with carbon fiber. Because this material is lighter and stiffer than wooden action components, it facilitates fast repeated notes, precise pianissimo control, and stable response during powerful performance. Extended keys create more even resistance from the front to the back of the keyboard; while NEOTEX white and black key surfaces provide a controlled touch during long practice sessions.

Mahogany hammers and tonal precision

The GX series uses lightweight, rigid mahogany-cored hammers with premium under-felt. The mass and hardness of the hammer transmit the energy from the key to the string precisely, creating a clear response from soft nuances to powerful climaxes. Front and back duplex scaling utilize the harmonic energy in the non-speaking segments of the strings, adding brightness to the upper register and extra color to the sound.

Solid spruce soundboard and resonance system

The 1.33 m² straight-grained and tapered solid spruce soundboard converts string vibrations into a broad, balanced tone. 4 back posts, a vertically laminated treble bridge, and a hybrid inner frame support the transmission of energy to the soundboard. The CORE system unites the piano's primary power points at the acoustic center; the SOLID construction keeps the pinblock, upper beam, and case in a single robust structure. The V‑Pro vacuum-molded iron frame is designed for stability under high string tension.
