Kawai GL-50 Grand Piano

The GL-50 Conservatory Grand is especially popular among music institutions and professional studios. Experienced teachers are continually impressed by its stable touch and attractive tone that remain consistent over many years of professional use. Its 6'2" frame is larger than most comparable conservatory grands, allowing the GL-50 provide tone that evokes the qualities of a much larger grand. In a versatile size that is ideal for studios and smaller recital spaces, the GL-50 is a favorite among skilled pianists.

Sometimes, the best role for an instrument is apparent from the start. The GL-50 Conservatory Grand Piano found its highest calling among music institutions, where its versatile size is ideal for teaching studios and smaller recital spaces. At 6’2″, it offers abundant tone quality and bass resonance that is perfect for professional teaching applications. 

The GL-50 has all the features that earned MMR Magazine’s global music industry “Product of the Year” award for the GL Series in 2016 — including the revolutionary Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon parts that promises unrivaled consistency of touch and control over time. And, like the GL-40, the GL-50 features the CORE System that maximizes the reflective capabilities of the inner rim to provide greater tonal sustain and power. Play the GL-50 and experience the flagship of the award-winning GL Series line.
