The most distinctive feature of the 5’5″ GL-30 Classic Grand is its flexible size which is substantially larger than a baby grand piano, but not quite as large as the traditional classic grand.
This intermediate size allows it to adapt easily to a wide range of home, studio or institutional spaces.
Regardless of the venue, the GL-30 is an instrument of outstanding quality that will always provide a tone and touch worthy of GL Series, MMR Magazine’s 2016 “Product of the Year.”
Rich and full-bodied tone like a larger classic grand
TOUCH
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 more 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.
TONE
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.
STRENGTH
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 moulded using the Vacuum Mold Process (V-Pro) with “Crossbone Design.” The result is a plate that is strong, stable, and beautiful.
To ensure your peace of mind and protect the value of your investment, every Kawai grand piano is covered by our Ten Year Fully Transferable Warranty. This warranty is the seal of Kawai craftsmanship—and the assurance of your satisfaction for many years.
