Key Features

• The Millennium III Action: Features components made of ABS-Carbon, a revolutionary composite material created by the infusion of carbon fiber into our renowned ABS Styran. This incredibly sturdy and rigid material allows for lighter action parts without sacrificing strength, resulting in a stronger, faster action that offers more power, better control, and greater stability than conventional all-wood actions.
• Longer Keys: Designed to make playing easier while providing a more even tactile response from the front to the back of the playing surface. Their taller profile and concert-length key buttons offer exceptional rigidity to ensure optimum energy transfer and maximum dynamic power.
• Tapered Soundboard Made of Solid Spruce: Serving as the heart of the piano to transform string vibrations into a rich, resounding tone, Kawai uses only straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce for the GL series. Each soundboard is strategically tapered to provide the proper degree of resonant movement in every region, ensuring it meets demanding acoustic standards.
• CORE System: Exclusive to the GL-40 and GL-50 models, the “Convergence for Optimum Reflected Energy” system focuses the piano’s main structural centers—the rim, plate, and underside beams—onto one central point at the heart of the instrument, creating an incredibly strong foundation that maximizes inner rim reflection for outstanding tonal power and sustain.
• SOLID Construction: The Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design creates an exceptionally rigid foundation to support immense string tension. By integrating the pinblock and over-lapping stretcher bar into a single structure solidly anchored to the rim, this thick framework ensures superb tuning stability and a powerful, consistent tone.
• V-pro Plate: The acoustically-neutral iron superstructure over which the strings are tensioned is molded using the advanced Vacuum Mold Process (V-Pro) featuring a “Crossbone Design.” The result is a highly stable, structurally strong, and visually elegant plate.
