Kawai GL-50 Conservatory Grand Piano

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.
