Kawai GX-3 Grand Piano

The GX-3 BLAK Series Conservatory Grand Piano impresses with a dignified elegance and distinctive tone evoking the qualities of a much larger grand. It is a favorite among music schools for the way it performs admirably over time in teaching studios and smaller recital spaces. With outstanding tone and touch in a versatile size, the GX-3 is a preferred choice of professionals.

Some instruments have the right combination of size and features that make them perfect for a particular use. The GX-3 grand piano has become a favorite among music schools for its stellar combination of flexible size and superb performance that is ideal for teaching studios and smaller recital spaces. At 6’2″, it provides generous tone quality and bass resonance for professional teaching applications. And the exclusive Millennium III Action with Carbon Composites provides a level of consistent touch and control over time that is unmatched by any comparable instrument.

Adding to the GX-3’s superb feature set is our exclusive NEOTEX™ key surfaces that absorb the hand’s moisture to prevent slipping, and mahogany hammer moldings that produce a lighter, faster keystroke, further enhancing the GX-3’s ability to provide exceptional performance that lasts. The GX-3 grand piano is part of the GX BLAK Performances Series Grand Piano lineup.
