Kawai GL-10 Baby Grand Piano – Satin Ebony | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls

This lightly used Kawai GL-10 baby grand piano in Satin Ebony with matching bench is one of the finest 5'0" instruments available at any price — and at a pre-owned value, it represents an exceptional opportunity for home pianists and advancing students alike. Part of the award-winning GL Series named MMR Magazine's "Product of the Year" in 2016, the GL-10 packs genuine concert-grade technology — including Kawai's Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon composites — into a compact footprint that fits beautifully in any home. This example is in great condition, lightly used, and ready to play.

Product Overview

The Kawai GL-10 is the entry point to Kawai's GL Series grand piano line, but "entry point" is a relative term at this level. Built with the same Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon composite parts found in Kawai's larger and more expensive GX and Shigeru Kawai models, the GL-10 delivers a touch and responsiveness that outclasses virtually every other baby grand in its size category. The Satin Ebony finish lends the instrument a refined, understated elegance — at home in a living room, music studio, or teaching space — and the matching bench completes the presentation beautifully.

At the heart of the GL-10's voice is a solid spruce precision-tapered soundboard, permanently crowned for long-term tonal stability. Kawai selects only straight-grained, quarter-sawn spruce for GL Series soundboards, testing each one to confirm it meets demanding resonance standards before installation. The result is a warm, clear tone with surprising depth and projection for a 5-foot instrument. Solid brass agraffes ensure precise string alignment and spacing throughout the lower and middle registers, contributing to consistent tone and reliable tuning stability.

Structural integrity is addressed through Kawai's SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) construction, which anchors the double-width stretcher bar, pinblock, and 11-ply laminated keybed into a single unified structure. The V-Pro plate — cast gray iron using a vacuum mold process in a "Crossbone" design — provides an exceptionally stable and resonant foundation. A steel-reinforced keyslip and keybed further protect against the key-sticking and sluggishness that can develop in lesser instruments over time. The ultra-slow Soft-Fall fallboard protects both hands and finish.

Key Features

Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon Components

The GL-10 features the same Millennium III Action found in Kawai's larger professional grand pianos — a landmark achievement for a baby grand. ABS-Carbon composite parts are lighter and more rigid than wood, producing a faster, more responsive action that stays consistent across temperature and humidity changes. Extended-length keysticks and concert-length key buttons (doubled from standard length) give the pianist finer dynamic control and more even response across the full keyboard.

Solid Spruce Precision Tapered Soundboard

The GL-10's soundboard is crafted from straight-grained, quarter-sawn solid spruce — strategically tapered for optimal resonance in each register. Permanently crowned for long-term tonal stability, it delivers a warm, projecting tone with excellent sustain that belies the instrument's compact 5'0" footprint.

SOLID Construction and V-Pro Plate

Kawai's SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) integrates the double-width stretcher bar, pinblock, and keybed into a single reinforced structure for maximum rigidity under string tension. The V-Pro gray iron plate, cast using a vacuum mold process with a "Crossbone" internal design, provides the strength and resonance foundation that gives the GL-10 its authority and tonal consistency.

Solid Brass Agraffes

Individual solid brass agraffes regulate string spacing, angle, and speaking length for each note through the lower and middle registers. This precision alignment improves tonal uniformity across the keyboard and contributes to the GL-10's reputation for stable, reliable tuning.

Satin Ebony Finish with Matching Bench

The Satin Ebony finish offers a sophisticated alternative to high-gloss lacquer — elegant without being flashy, and far more forgiving of fingerprints and light handling. This lightly used example is in great condition, and the included matching bench completes the set beautifully.
