Only 2 years old, this incredible piano is in superb ’near mint' condition throughout, having been hardly played since new and is still the current model produced by Kawai in Japan. The GL30 is larger than most baby grands, offering the full grand piano experience in a still relatively compact package. The added bonus of a state of the art digital / silent system makes this an incredibly versatile instrument.

Here is Kawai’s own description:

The AURES 2 hybrid instruments blend Kawai’s masterful acoustic piano craftsmanship with advanced digital piano technologies. Each piano begins with the solid foundation of Kawai’s award-winning upright and grand pianos, offering class-leading features such as the Millennium III action, considered to be the world’s finest upright and grand piano actions.
Equipped with Kawai’s most advanced digital and sound technologies, AURES 2 instruments are also premium digital pianos that can be played silently with headphones or through their acoustic soundboard. Players can complement their performances with a wide selection of digital sounds or layer these sounds with the acoustic piano to create unique combinations. Practice new pieces using the built-in metronome then record their performance, or play along with tracks from a Bluetooth-connected smart device and enjoy a personal ensemble performance.

All AURES 2 upright and grand piano instruments incorporate Kawai’s specially developed acoustic muting systems which effectively prevent the action’s hammers from striking the strings, thus silencing the sound of each note when played.

The GL Series Grand Pianos possess all the essential qualities that have made Kawai pianos a preferred choice of pianists and educators for generations. They were conceived with one goal in mind—to provide exceptional touch and tone that endures.



Tone and tuning

The tone is bold, rich and powerful, with an even sound throughout the registers. Very good bass indeed for a grand of this size and the piano has an outstanding dynamic range. Tuned to concert pitch - A=440hz.



Keyboard

The keyboard is in excellent condition.

Action

This piano features Kawai’s award winning ‘Millenium III’ action. We love the feel of these actions - they have a really wide tonal and dynamic range and can certainly encourage more expressive playing.



Pedals

Damper and Una Corda as usual, plus Sostenuto pedal (in the middle) which is required in some higher level romantic and modern era pieces.



Hammers and strings

Hammers and strings in as new condition - this piano has hardly been played.



Sound board

Perfect condition



Case

A stunning black polyester gloss case, in almost as new condition throughout. A matching adjustable ‘concert' stool is included in the sale



Approx Dimensions

166cm (5’ 5”) long, 150cm wide, 102cm tall - a 'boudoir' grand piano, truly impressive in stature and sound yet would fit within many domestic spaces as well as public venues, bars, resturants etc.
