Used Kawai GL10 Acoustic Grand Piano Polished Ebony | Bolton Store
We have the pleasure to offer you a used Kawai GL10 baby grand piano in a beautiful polished ebony cabinet. Manufactured in approximately 2016, this piano is not very old and in good condition. There are few signs of minor wear & tear from dusting and minor marks that I have tried to capture in the images; overall it looks respectible. It is at concert pitch and has a great responsive, balanced key action, and is a nice piano to play. I think this used Kawai GL-10 is excellent value for money.

More About The KAWAI GL Grand Pianos
Kawai grand pianos are some of the most highly regarded in the world due to their expressive tone and impressive sound range. The Kawai GL10 Grand Piano is no exception. The GL10 possesses a depth of sound and expansive range that encourages new and seasoned pianists  to keep on playing. The soundboard on the GL10 grand piano is tapered strategically to create an enhanced sound, and Kawai’s ‘Ultra Responsive Action’ provides ultimate precision. The Kawai GL10 model is not only a reliable grand piano but makes for a stunning focal point in your home. 

The Millennium III action
The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by the infusion of carbon fibre into the renowned Kawai ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, allowing the creation of action parts that are lighter without sacrificing strength. The result is a stronger, faster action that offers more power, better control and greater stability than conventional all-wood actions.

Longer keys
Longer keys make playing easier and provide a more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface. A taller profile and concert-length key buttons make them more rigid to provide exceptional energy transfer and optimum power.

Rigid foundation of key stroke
The hammer rail is the spine of the piano's action. GL series hammer rails are made of durable extruded aluminium with an exclusive Dual-Beam design for strength and stability. Both the hammer rail and the wippen rail are permanently locked in place to preserve the exacting tolerances of the action design and ensure consistent touch over the life of the piano. The entire surface of the hammer rail is finely serrated to hold each hammer flange securely in place for optimum hammer alignment. The hammer flanges secured to the surface are made by ABS-Carbon that enables the action screws to remain tight without shrinking and swelling. All these meticulous design features comprise the GL Series' rigid foundation, ensuring a precise key stroke over time.

The use of ABS-Carbon makes the action parts tremendously strong and consistent. ABS-Carbon is many times stronger than wood and is virtually impervious to shrinking and swelling due to humidity. This extraordinary combination of strength and stability allows ABS-Carbon action parts to transfer energy to the hammers with unparalleled efficiency, power, precision and nuance for a superb playing experience.

Tone
Kawai grand pianos are renowned for their expressive tone and expansive dynamic range that allow pianists to communicate with ease and passion.

Agraffes
Agraffes insure accuracy in string alignment, spacing and angles to produce greater uniformity of tone and consistent "speaking length" for each note.

The power of pianissimo
One of the most coveted attributes of a fine piano is dynamic range; the ability to play not only thundering fortissimos, but also the most delicate and sensitive pianissimos. The technological superiority of the Millennium III Action is most evident in its extraordinary ability to produce the perfect pianissimo. It is ironic that GL series technology speaks loudest when it whispers.

Tapered soundboard made of solid spruce
The soundboard is the heart of a piano. Its purpose is to transform the vibrations of the piano's strings into a rich, resounding tone. Kawai uses only straightgrained, quarter-sawn solid spruce for GL series soundboards. Each one is strategically tapered to provide the proper degree of resonant movement in each region. Only soundboards that meet or exceed our demanding resonance standards are selected for use in the GL series grand pianos.

Hardwood bridge
Bridges transfer the vibrations of the strings to the soundboard. GL Series bridges are made of solid maple or beech and are carefully set and matched to the iron plate for correct string pressure and optimal tonal transfer.

Strength
Strength allows a piano to perform with integrity and authority over time. GL Series pianos are built with remarkable strength to thrive amid the rigors of long-term use.

Solid (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design)
Solid construction creates an exceptionally rigid foundation to support string tension. First, the pinblock is fitted to the plate. Then, the pinblock and over-lapping stretcher bar are integrated into a single structure and solidly anchored to the rim. The extraordinary thickness of the stretcher bar exemplifies the structural integrity of this sturdy framework designed to ensure stable tuning and powerful tone.

V-pro plate
The plate is the acoustically-neutral iron superstructure of the piano over which the strings are tensioned. All GL Series plates are molded using the Vacuum Mold Process (V-Pro) with Crossbone Designs. The result is a plate that is strong, stable and beautiful.

Pinblocks and Tuning pins
The Multi-Grip pinblock on all GL series grand pianos is fully laminated with a minimum of eleven cross-banded layers of North American hard maple for maximum strength and balanced torque. Tuning pins are made from the finest carbon steel, machine threaded for maximum continuous torque and nickel plated to enhance beauty and provide long-term protection..

Steel-reinforced, anti-warp keyslip
A piano's keyslip is the long, horizontal piece of wood that covers the front faces of the keys. Because it is made of wood, a keyslip can warp or bend with changes in humidity, causing keys to stick. To avoid this problem, the GL series keyslip is reinforced with a heavy-gauge steel 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 piano's keybed must be strong and stable to support the weight of the entire action assembly over time. The GL series keybed is made of extremely sturdy, laminated hardwoods and is reinforced with a steel support beam that adds strength and increases rigidity in the keybed, to prevent energy loss.

Soft Fall Fallboard
The Kawai ultra-slow, 'Soft Fall' fallboard closing system with dual-damping mechanism protects hands, and the piano's finish, from the harm that a jarring close might cause.
