As the longest in the Kawai range, the GL50 carries sound on a grand scale, and is full of rich warmth and character. The Gl50 grand piano has a strong yet light playing action owing to the ABS carbon components in the Millienium III action. The hammer heads are made from 100% wool felt and the pinblocks are fully laminated using North American hard maple. The quality of the Kawai GL50 is unsurpassed and it’s timeless elegance makes it a showstopping grand piano. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe Millennium III action\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by the infusion of carbon fibre into our 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eLonger keys\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e Longer keys make playing easier and provide a more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface.

GL series hammer rails are made of durable extruded aluminium with our 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe 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 from 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eTONE \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e Kawai grand pianos are renowned for their expressive tone and expansive dynamic range that allow pianists to communicate with ease and passion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDuplex Scale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e The duplex scale enhances harmonics in the treble range adding brilliance and richness to the piano's tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eAgraffes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e Agraffes insure accuracy in string alignment, spacing and angles to produce greater uniformity of tone and consistent \"speaking length\" for each note.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe power of pianissimo \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e 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.

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 our demanding resonance standards are selected for use in the GL series grand pianos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eCORE System \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e CORE is an acronym that represents Convergence for Optimum Reflected Energy. Convergence refers to the way the pianos strength centres the rim, plate and underside beams, focussing on one central point at the heart of the instrument.
