Product Overview
This distinguished GL-30 showcases a stunning Sapele Mahogany Polish finish with rich, reddish-brown tones and elegant grain patterns that create a visual presence of timeless sophistication. The high-gloss polish enhances the natural beauty of the mahogany, revealing its deep color variations and distinctive figuring that become more beautiful with age. This premium finish offers a luxurious alternative to traditional ebony while maintaining the durability needed for years of performance.
At 5'5" in length, the GL-30 occupies a unique position in the piano world—substantially larger than a baby grand but more compact than a traditional classic grand. This intermediate size adapts admirably to a wide range of home, studio, and institutional spaces while providing enhanced projection and tonal depth. The solid spruce precision tapered soundboard is permanently crowned for long-term tonal stability, producing a warm, rich sound with excellent resonance.
The piano's exceptional tonal expressiveness is further enhanced by Dual Duplex Scaling, allowing the extreme ends of the strings to vibrate sympathetically and create additional harmonics that enrich the tone. The revolutionary Millennium III action with ABS-Carbon composites offers unparalleled responsiveness and control, allowing for expressive playing across all dynamic ranges. Advanced engineering features include the Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design (SOLID) with a double-width stretcher bar for exceptional structural integrity, three back posts for added stability, and extended length keysticks that ensure even response throughout each key.

- Professional studios and elegant homes where the rich mahogany finish creates a distinguished focal point
- Institutions and venues with classic decor that would be complemented by warm wood tones

Key Features
Exquisite Sapele Mahogany Polish Finish
The rich, reddish-brown tones and distinctive grain patterns of the Sapele Mahogany are enhanced by a lustrous high-gloss polish that highlights the wood's natural beauty. This exclusive finish creates a piano of extraordinary visual distinction that stands apart from more common finishes while providing a warmth and character that only fine mahogany can deliver.
Versatile 5'5" Classic Grand Size
The GL-30's intermediate size offers substantial advantages over smaller baby grands while remaining more adaptable than larger instruments. This versatile size provides enhanced bass resonance, improved projection, and a more commanding presence while still fitting comfortably in a variety of spaces.
Dual Duplex Scaling
This premium feature enhances tonal complexity by allowing both fore and back portions of the strings to vibrate sympathetically, creating additional harmonics. The result is a more singing, complex tone with greater richness and sustain—a level of tonal refinement typically found in larger, more expensive pianos.
Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon Technology
Kawai's exclusive action design incorporates carbon fiber for incredible strength and stability. This revolutionary technology creates a more responsive touch that remains consistent regardless of climate changes, offering better control and expression than traditional wooden actions.
Precision Tapered Solid Spruce Soundboard
The permanently crowned solid spruce soundboard delivers remarkable tonal projection and sustain. Precision tapering ensures optimal vibration patterns for a balanced, rich sound across the entire tonal spectrum, contributing to the GL-30's exceptional musical voice.
