Equipped with the revolutionary Millennium III Action, also featured in the flagship Shigeru Kawai series, the GX responds instantly to your fingertips.
Every nuance becomes part of your expression. This refined touch invites players to discover the joy of complete musical control.
Made with ABS-carbon composite, an aerospace-grade material, this action achieves both high rigidity and lightness, overcoming the limitations of traditional wood. Its stability and durability ensure lasting performance over decades.
Longer keys in the GX Series provide more consistent touch and control whether you play at the front or back of the key. This innovation enhances ease of playing, dynamic control, and expressive power, even in demanding passages.
Developed as an alternative to ivory and ebony, Kawai’s NEOTEX key surface offers a warm, tactile feel. It resists moisture and static, reducing slippage and dust buildup - ensuring confident performance in any condition.
The GX Series delivers the signature “Kawai tone” - rich, deep bass and clear, mellow treble that lend depth and emotional resonance to every performance.
The soundboard is the heart of a piano. Its purpose is to transform the vibrations of the piano’s strings into a rich, resounding tone. Kawai uses only straightgrained, quarter-sawn solid spruce selected by both scientific and artisanal criteria for GX series soundboards. Each one is strategically tapered to provide the proper degree of resonant movement in each region. Only soundboards that meet or exceed our demanding resonance standards are selected for use in the GX series grand pianos.
The exclusive Konsei Katagi rim uses a blend of distinctive hardwoods to achieve an ideal balance of tone. For the inner rim, small-pored hardwoods that provide superior brightness and projection are interlaminated with dense, large-pored hardwoods offering warmth and fullness. This synergy of structurally divergent hardwoods produces a powerful, well-rounded richness of tone that is the hallmark of Kawai pianos.
SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) construction creates an exceptionally rigid foundation to support string tension. First, the pinblock is fitted to the plate. Then, the pinblock and over-lapping stretcher bar are integrated into a single structure and solidly anchored to the rim. The extraordinary thickness of the stretcher bar exemplifies the structural integrity of this sturdy framework designed to ensure stable tuning and powerful tone.
The GX Series honors the majestic tradition of the grand piano while relentlessly pursuing a new, refined elegance in every detail. This philosophy—the spirit of "THE GRAND"—is most strikingly revealed when the instrument is opened to show the mesmerizing brilliance of its glowing golden frame. It is a timeless masterpiece crafted to bring professional performance and a source of joy for a lifetime.
The exterior design incorporates gentle, elegant curves on the arms and music rest, establishing a traditional yet distinctive form. A substantial front beam enhances rigidity and presence, all beautifully defined by a deep, brilliant black through Kawai’s prized polishing process.
Opening the top-board reveals the heart of GX beauty: the glowing golden frame, the Kawai craftsman mark, the warm wood grain of the inner rim, and luxurious black felt. It's the spirit of "THE GRAND" shining from within.
Even at your feet, the GX Series reveals exquisite detail. The gleaming pedals are crafted from polished brass, adding a final touch of brilliant elegance. These luxurious components not only enhance visual beauty but also provide smooth, responsive control for an exceptional playing experience.
Features Kawai’s original Soft-Fall system, which closes the fallboard gently and slowly, even if accidentally released. This mechanism protects the player’s hands, ensuring safety for all, especially children.
