Introducing our Kawai GX series grand pianos
The Kawai GX series represents a premium line of grand pianos from the renowned Japanese manufacturer Kawai, known for their innovation, craftsmanship, and dedication to quality. This series builds upon the success of its predecessor, the Kawai RX series, incorporating advanced materials and state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional performance and musical expression.
Key Features
Millennium III Action - The GX series features the Millennium III action, made with ABS-Carbon, which is lighter and stronger than traditional wooden actions. This innovation provides increased speed, responsiveness, and durability.
Advanced Hammer Design - The hammers in the GX series pianos are made with top-quality felt and are double-felted, which ensures consistent tone and longer lifespan.
Soundboard - The soundboard is crafted from solid spruce, chosen for its superior acoustic properties. Kawai carefully selects and seasons the wood to enhance resonance and tonal richness.
Key Surfaces - The keys are made with Neotex, a synthetic material that mimics the feel of ivory and ebony. Neotex is moisture-absorbent, providing a comfortable touch and preventing slipping during play.
Scale Design - Each model in the GX series features a well-balanced scale design, contributing to the instrument's dynamic range and tonal clarity.
Agraffes and Duplex Scaling - The inclusion of agraffes in the mid and upper registers improves string alignment and enhances tuning stability. Duplex scaling enriches the harmonic content of the piano’s tone.
V-Pro Plate - The piano frame is made using the Vacuum Mold Process (V-Pro), ensuring strength and precision in the casting process.
Aesthetic Elegance - The GX series pianos are not only designed for performance but also for elegance. They feature sleek lines, high-gloss finishes, and fine detailing that make them a centrepiece in any setting.
