KAWAI GRAND PIANO GM-10

KAWAI GRAND PIANO GM-10
With its resonant tone and classic good looks, 
the GM-10K is an impressive addition to your home or studio. 

The GM-10K offers the same attention to detail and quality found in Kawai's larger pianos – in a petite size to fit any room.
The action design and components are comparable to those in our GE and RX Series pianos to provide outstanding touch and playability. 


A real grand piano 
Measuring 150cm in length, the GM-10 offers the same attention to detail and quality found in Kawai's larger pianos - in a petite size to fit any room. The action design and components are comparable to those in our GE and RX Series pianos to provide outstanding touch and playability. With it's resonant tone and classic good looks, the GM-10 will be an impressive addition to any home. 


Exclusive Ultra-Responsive Action 
Kawai's "Ultra-Responsive Action" stands alone in providing the finest combination of strength, stability, precision and reliability. Hammer heads are made with 100% premium wool felt. To make the action resistant to climatic and seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, we pioneered the use of aluminium action rails, aluminium hammer rest rails and precision parts made of extremely stable, low-friction ABS Styran. 
   
 
 

Full Sostenuto Pedal 
Unlike many baby grands that have only a bass sustain pedal, the GM-10 Grand allows you to sustain the first played notes, then play staccato over the rest of the keyboard. This is a function normally found only on larger grands. 


Steel reinforced, Anti-Warp Keyslip 
The GM and GE Series keyslips are reinforced with a heavy-guage steel inside 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 GM and GE Series keybeds are made of extremely strong, laminated hardwoods.  
Kawai also reinforces each keybed with an underside steel support beam for maximum stability. 

 

Laminated beams of Matoa 
All GM and GE Series beams are made of Matoa, one of the world’s hardest woods. Our cross-banded LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) construction method creates beams that are many times stronger and more durable than beams made of solid wood. 


Multi-Laminate Pinblock 
GM and GE Series pinblocks are laminated with a minimum of 11 cross-banded layers of hard rock maple. Lamination provides more strength, greater pressure and more balanced torque on the tuning pins for superior tuning stability.

ABS-CARBON FIBER:
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, BETTER PLAYING EXPERIENCE


Carbon fiber is enabling advancement
in aeronautics, athletic performance, automobiles, building structures
– and, of course, musical instruments.
At Kawai, we are proud to be the leader in advancing the piano art form. 



Consider how carbon fiber enhances the playing experience:

  • DURABILITY—ABS-Carbon parts are more durable than traditional wood-based action parts and 90% stronger, meaning less maintenance and parts replacement.
  • SPEED—Because ABS-Carbon is lighter, the action is approximately 25% faster. Keys depress and return more swiftly, providing increased repetition and playing speed
  • POWER—The added rigidity of ABS-Carbon provides more power with less effort; so the piano responds to a lighter touch, making it easier to play.
  • CONTROL—The meticulous redesign of the Millennium III Action offers superb control for the player. It is now easier than ever to maintain control for pianissimo playing.

 

Key Benefits Of The Millennium III Upright Action

  • Stronger - The infusion of carbon fiber into ABS increased the strength of the material by 90%. This enabled ABS-Carbon parts to be stronger, even though they were made lighter in weight.
  • Faster - With lighter ABS-Carbon parts, the Millennium III Action was made faster– approximately 25% faster than a conventional wooden action.
  • Greater Power - ABS-Carbon is more rigid and sends more energy to the hammer with every keystroke, providing more power with less effort.
  • Better Control - The jack is redesigned with a microscopic surface texture to provide unparalleled control for pianissimo playing.

THE POWER OF CARBON FIBER TECHNOLOGY

WHY ABS-CARBON?
Carbon fiber has been referred to as the lightest and strongest material on the face of the Earth. In other words, for its weight, carbon fiber is the strongest material you can find. Leading products all around us incorporate carbon fiber-based materials with far-reaching benefits. In Kawai pianos, the lighter design (made possible by carbon fiber) makes the Millennium III Action tremendously fast and effortless to play without affecting tone. In addition, ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, offering pianists more power with less effort. The exceptional consistency of ABS-Carbon provides these benefits over many years, something conventional wood components are unable to deliver.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH WOOD?
While certainly ideal for the important sound-producing elements of a piano, wood is less than ideal for many of the critical components found in a piano's action. Wood is susceptible to breakage from continual stress and can shrink and swell dramatically with changes in climate. This results in inconsistency over time, often requiring costly maintenance to keep a piano working properly. For years, the only alternative was to “treat the symptoms” by replacing failing wood parts and making continual adjustments.

The World's Most Precise Upright Piano Action
Kawai upright pianos feature our exclusive Ultra-Responsive Direct Blow action that offers extraordinary feel and touch. Hammer heads are made with 100% wool felt. Hammer shanks and moldings are made with top-quality maple. To make the action resistant to climatic and seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, we pioneered the use of aluminum action rails, aluminum hammer rest rails and precision parts made of extremely stable, low-friction ABS Styran.


Exclusive ABS Styran Action Parts
The innovative use of ABS Styran in all our piano actions is one of the chief reasons why a Kawai piano will maintain stable touch and tone over time better than other pianos. Endorsed by leading piano technicians and proven superior in scientific tests, ABS Styran is supported by over thirty years of proven reliability in Kawai pianos. Read the Truth About ABS.

 

Soundboard and Ribs
The most important sound-producing parts of a piano are the soundboard and ribs. The choice of materials and the manner in which they are assembled can greatly affect volume and tone quality. Our wood technologists select only the finest spruce to ensure exceptional dynamic range and superb tone across the entire spectrum of sound. The Kawai upright pianos boast an exceptionally large soundboard area for greater tonal power and resonance.

 

Back Posts
Back posts support the plate and help maintain its structural integrity over the life of the piano. Our laminated back post construction is designed for maximum rigidity to provide enhanced tuning stability for decades of reliable performance.


Pinblocks
A pinblock must be constructed and finished to the highest quality standards to ensure maximum tuning stability. At Kawai, we make our pinblocks from the finest hard rock maple and utilize machine-cut thread, reverse-torque tuning pins for easy tuning.


Cast Brass Pedals
Kawai's exclusive Cast Brass Pedals are extremely resilient. Made with a permanently bonded brass finish over a die-cast aluminum core, Kawai Cast Brass Pedals are significantly stronger and more durable than traditional "capped" upright piano pedals.

K-2 Professional Upright

The 45” K-2 introduces the impressive qualities that have made the Kawai K-Series of professional uprights so highly-respected around the world.

UPRIGHT PIANO KAWAI K-SERIES

Reliability and superior sound quality
The K-Series upright pianos offer a level of tone quality and performance that rivals many grand pianos. With sturdy construction for years of reliable service, the K-Series models are excellent for auditoriums, schools and other institutional settings.


Millennium III Action featuring ABS Carbon Action Parts
Most of our Grand Pianos now feature the Millennium III Action. This Action has been well accepted, as you can see from our success in many of the International Piano Competitions throughout the world. The result is a strong, precise and powerful action for the new "K-Series" models.

The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a new composite material created by the infusion of carbon into our existing ABS Styran.
 
ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allowed Kawai to make the action parts lighter without sacrificing strength. The lighter design makes the Millennium III Action tremendously fast and effortless for the player. The repetition and responsiveness are superb.

Every exacting detail of the action was exhaustively analyzed to meet the stringent demands of the skilled pianist. One prime example of this effort was the addition of a microscopic surface texture on the jack at the point where it meets the hammer. The result of this subtle but important change is a dramatic increase in control during pianissimo playing.

New Cabinet Design
To bring out more elegance to the pianos, a new design has been made. Notice the details of the pianos and realize the new wooden design elements. Wood is used to bring out the extra shine to the pianos. Also new shapes for the edges and many more construction details have been changed compared to the previous models.
- Longer Music Rack on all models
- New Soft Fall System
- New Brass Casters (all models). For K-3, 5, 6, 8 models, there will be double casters.

"Soft Fall" Fall-board
"Soft Fall" Fall-board closing system that protects hands, fingers and the pianos finish from the harm that a jarring close may cause.


Non-lead weighted Keys
"We care about our world". We have changed the weight used in keys from lead to iron. The new K-Series is an innovative change from Kawai. This new K-Series will not be just a succeeding model to that of K-18, 25, 50, 60, 80, but a "Full Model Change".

Soundboard Design
K-Series soundboards are made of solid quarter-sawn, carefully chosen and scientifically tested to exceed Kawai's demanding resonance standards for superior tone. For the K-3 and K-2, the soundboard area, string lengths and number of ribs are maximized to exceed the specifications of other pianos and provide greater power and resonance.
