Key Features

Hand-Applied Urushi Lacquer Accents

The GX2 60th Anniversary Edition features traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer accents, applied by hand using centuries-old techniques. This meticulous process creates a unique finish with depth and luster that evolves beautifully over time, making each instrument a one-of-a-kind work of art that celebrates Kawai's Japanese heritage.

Millennium III Action with ABS-Carbon Technology

The revolutionary Millennium III action utilizes ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by the infusion of carbon fiber into ABS styran. This combination creates an action that is stronger, more responsive, and more dimensionally stable than conventional wood actions, ensuring the highest level of performance and control for the most demanding pianists.

This premium construction methodology, exclusive to the GX BLAK Performance Series, ensures optimal resonance throughout the entire dynamic range while providing the structural foundation for the special anniversary design elements.
