More About The GL30 grand piano from Kawai One of the most exquisite grand pianos in the Kawai range, the GL30 Kawai Grand Piano is as beautiful to look at as it is to play. Featuring a duplex scale that enhances harmonics, creating rich, full flavoured sounds, and with a balanced key action for responsive playing, the GL30 grand piano offers stunning sound quality. Using ABS carbon as part of the Kawai Millennium III Action, the Kawai GL30, allows for a more controlled and powerful playing experience. The Kawai GL30 grand piano will make music for several lifetimes and is a piano to be truly cherished.
The Millennium III action The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by the infusion of carbon fibre into the Kawai renowned ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allows the creation of action parts that are lighter without sacrificing strength. The result is a stronger, faster action that offers more power, better control and greater stability than conventional all-wood actions.
Longer keys Longer keys make playing easier and provide a more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface. A taller profile and concert-length key buttons make them more rigid to provide exceptional energy transfer and optimum power.
Rigid foundation of key stroke GL series hammer rails are made of durable extruded aluminium with an exclusive Dual-Beam design for strength and stability. Both the hammer rail and the wippen rail are permanently locked in place to preserve the exacting tolerances of the action design and ensure consistent touch over the life of the piano. The entire surface of the hammer rail is finely serrated to hold each hammer flange securely in place for optimum hammer alignment. The hammer flanges secured to the surface are made by ABS-Carbon that enables the action screws to remain tight without shrinking and swelling. All these meticulous design features comprise the GL Series' rigid foundation, ensuring a precise key stroke over time.
The use of ABS-Carbon makes the action parts tremendously strong and consistent. ABS-Carbon is many times stronger than wood and is virtually impervious to shrinking and swelling due to humidity. This extraordinary combination of strength and stability allows ABS-Carbon action parts to transfer energy to the hammers with unparalleled efficiency, power, precision and nuance for a superb playing experience.
Tone Kawai grand pianos are renowned for their expressive tone and expansive dynamic range that allow pianists to communicate with ease and passion.
Duplex Scale The duplex scale enhances harmonics in the treble range adding brilliance and richness to the piano's tone.
Agraffes Agraffes insure accuracy in string alignment, spacing and angles to produce greater uniformity of tone and consistent "speaking length" for each note.
The Power Of Pianissimo One of the most coveted attributes of a fine piano is dynamic range; the ability to play not only thundering fortissimos, but also the most delicate and sensitive pianissimos. The technological superiority of the Millennium III Action is most evident in its extraordinary ability to produce the perfect pianissimo. It is ironic that GL series technology speaks loudest when it whispers.
Tapered Soundboard Made Of Solid Spruce The soundboard is the heart of a piano. Its purpose is to transform the vibrations of the pianos strings into a rich, resounding tone. Kawai uses only straight grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce for GL series soundboards. Each one is strategically tapered to provide the proper degree of resonant movement in each region. Only soundboards that meet or exceed the Kawai demanding resonance standards are selected for use in the GL series grand pianos.
Hardwood Bridge Bridges transfer the vibrations of the strings to the soundboard. GL Series bridges are made of solid maple or beech and are carefully set and matched to the iron plate for correct string pressure and optimal tonal transfer.
Strength Strength allows a piano to perform with integrity and authority over time. GL Series pianos are built with remarkable strength to thrive amid the rigors of long-term use.
Solid (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) Solid 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.
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 molded using the Vacuum Mold Process (V-Pro) with Crossbone Design. The result is a plate that is strong, stable and beautiful.
Pinblocks & Tuning Pins The Multi-Grip pinblock on all GL series grand pianos is fully laminated with a minimum of eleven cross-banded layers of North American hard maple for maximum strength and balanced torque. Tuning pins are made from the finest carbon steel, machine threaded for maximum continuous torque and nickel plated to enhance beauty and provide long-term protection.
Steel-Reinforced, Anti-warp Keyslip A pianos keyslip is the long, horizontal piece of wood that covers the front faces of the keys. Because it is made of wood, a keyslip can warp or bend with changes in humidity, causing keys to stick. To avoid this problem, the GL series keyslip is reinforced with a heavy-gauge steel liner that prevents warping or bending in any direction. Keys move freely with virtually no possibility of rubbing or sticking against the inside of the keyslip.
Steel-Reinforced Keybed The pianos keybed must be strong and stable to support the weight of the entire action assembly over time. The GL series keybed is made of extremely sturdy, laminated hardwoods and is reinforced with a steel support beam that adds strength and increases rigidity in the keybed to prevent energy loss.
'Soft Fall' Fallboard The ultra-slow, "Soft Fall" fallboard closing system with dual-damping mechanism protects hands and the piano's finish from the harm that a jarring close might cause.
