Kawai GX-6 Acoustic grand piano

Kawai GX-6 professional acoustic grand piano

Kawai GX-6, at a near semi-concert size of 214 cm, creates a powerful bass foundation, long sustain, and projection that fills large acoustic spaces. At the same time, the Millennium III action maintains precise control in quiet nuances.

Ryuyo craftsmanship and the character of the GX series

The GX series combines Kawai's Ryuyo grand piano manufacturing tradition in Japan with modern material engineering. The series' tonal goal is to offer natural transitions between registers, wide dynamics, clear projection, and reliable mechanical control for the pianist. With a scale design and soundboard tailored to its size, the GX-6 demonstrates these features with a distinctive sound volume and resonance duration.

Millennium III grand piano action

The Millennium III action uses ABS-Carbon parts reinforced with carbon fibers. Because this material is lighter and stiffer than wooden action components, it facilitates rapid note repetition, precise pianissimo control, and consistent response during powerful playing. Extended keys create a more even resistance from the front of the keyboard to the back, while NEOTEX white and black key surfaces provide a controlled touch during long playing sessions.

Mahogany hammers and tonal precision

The GX series uses full underfelted hammers with lightweight and rigid mahogany cores. The mass and hardness of the hammer transmit energy from the key to the string precisely, creating a clear response from soft nuances to powerful climaxes. Front and rear duplex scaling utilize the harmonic energy from the non-speaking parts of the string, adding brightness to the upper register and additional color to the sound.

Solid spruce soundboard and resonance system

The 1.60 m² solid spruce soundboard, with straight grain and tapered processing, converts string vibrations into a broad, balanced tone. Four 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 main power points at the acoustic center; the SOLID construction holds the pinblock, upper beam, and case in a single rigid structure. The V-Pro vacuum-molded iron frame is designed for stability under high string tension.
