Available now at Piano Gallery in Idaho Falls — in excellent, lightly used condition.
Product Overview
The Kawai GX-2 is a 5'11" salon grand built entirely in Japan, sharing design DNA with Kawai's celebrated Shigeru Kawai concert series. Its Konsei Katagi rim construction blends select hardwoods to achieve an ideal balance of resonance and structural rigidity, while an expanded upper-beam design supports a pin block under approximately 20 tons of string tension. The Polished Sapele Mahogany finish lends this instrument a warm, distinguished appearance that stands apart from the standard ebony grand.
The GX-2's tonal character is balanced and expressive across the full range — a Steinway-esque warmth through the tenor and lower treble, a complex and sustaining upper register, and a supportive, authoritative bass. The solid spruce precision-tapered soundboard, permanently crowned for long-term stability, is at the heart of this instrument's ability to project with depth and clarity well beyond its 6-foot class.
The Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon composite components — the same lightweight, aerospace-grade material used in concert-level instruments — delivers exceptional responsiveness and long-term durability. Extended-length keysticks and concert-length key buttons increase the fulcrum distance of each key, giving the pianist finer control over dynamic gradation from the softest pianissimo to the fullest fortissimo.

- Discerning buyers looking for a premium used Kawai grand piano in a distinctive, non-ebony finish at below-new pricing
Key Features
Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon Components
Kawai's Millennium III Action uses ABS-Carbon composite parts — the same material employed in the aeronautics industry — to produce an action that is highly rigid, exceptionally lightweight, and resistant to performance degradation over time. The result is a touch that feels substantial and expressive, with rapid repetition and virtually zero missed strikes.
Solid Spruce Precision Tapered Soundboard
The GX-2's solid spruce soundboard is precision-tapered and permanently crowned for long-term tonal stability. Designed in the Shigeru Kawai Research and Development Laboratory, it delivers full, resonant projection with remarkable depth and clarity across all dynamic levels.
Extended Keysticks and Concert-Length Key Buttons
The keyboard features significantly extended keysticks and key buttons doubled in length compared to standard designs. These refinements increase leverage and energy transfer, giving the pianist unusually fine control and even response from the front to the back of each key.
Konsei Katagi Rim Construction
The GX-2's outer rim is constructed from a proprietary blend of hardwoods selected for their acoustic properties, reinforcing both structural rigidity and tonal resonance. An expanded upper-beam thickness further enhances stability under the piano's full string tension load.
Polished Sapele Mahogany Cabinet
The Polished Sapele Mahogany finish is a rare and striking alternative to standard piano finishes, featuring the natural warmth and visual character of genuine mahogany with a high-gloss lacquer that beautifully complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. This instrument is in excellent, lightly used condition.
