Kawai is most well known for solving for the inevitable sticky key over 50 years ago, with the use of ABS Styran in the fabrication of their action parts.

ABS is more than 30 times resistant to swelling than comparable wooden parts and shown to be 50% stronger under fracture load analysis.

Seeing Kawai great innovations, material selection, and incredibly tight tolerances is likely what drew Steinway & Sons attention to the Kawai brand in 1991.

Kawai graciously agreed to help Steinway reach new economic prosperity and agreed to build their new made up line of Boston pianos. For over 30 years Kawai continues to be the main supporting structure that undergirds Steinway’s success.

The Yamaha tone is well known for being sharp, bright, and piercing; and is on full display even on this model. Rest assured despite its small size, it produces a clear, nearly glass-shattering tone perfect for jazz, bluegrass, and honky tonk! 

If you are a higher caliber player and require a sostenuto pedal and a music desk, with mobility front to back you will want to look at Kawai’s GL-10, as the Yamaha GB1 only has a bass sustain as its center pedal and a fixed, non-movable music rack.

If you are a classical pianist a Kawai GL-10 is often the better option, as Kawai offers a warm, rich tone and a slightly firmer action, which more advanced pianists often prefer.

Additionally, the Kawai’s 12,000-part Millennium III action is made in Japan, not Indonesia. This translates to superior design, craftsmanship and ensures durability for several decades.
