Kawai GL-10 153cm Baby Grand Piano

The GL-10 is ideal for both. For beginners, it provides authentic grand piano touch and tone from day one, building proper technique on a real grand piano rather than transitioning later. Children who start on the GL-10 develop the right habits from the beginning, and the inspiring sound motivates them to practice. For advancing students working through AMEB grades, the GL-10's Millennium III Action, longer keys, and responsive touch support the technical demands of intermediate and advanced repertoire. The 153 cm length provides sufficient string length for warm, resonant tone across the entire range. Many families choose the GL-10 as their first grand piano because it grows with their children, from first lessons through final exams and beyond.

The GL-10 offers several advantages inherent to grand piano design: horizontal soundboard for richer resonance, longer strings (particularly in the bass) for fuller tone, grand piano action with faster repetition and more responsive touch, plus the visual presence and elegance that only a grand provides. The longer keys and grand action geometry allow for more nuanced control and expressive playing. While premium uprights like the K-500 or K-800 offer excellent performance, the GL-10 provides the authentic grand piano experience. The instrument becomes a focal point in your home, inviting family members and guests to gather around, to listen, to participate. It's the difference between having a piano and having a grand piano, both in performance and in presence.

At 153 cm (about 5 feet) in length, the GL-10 is designed to adapt to most living spaces, living rooms, family rooms, studios, or teaching spaces. It requires approximately the same floor space as a large upright when you account for the bench and clearance. During your showroom visit, we can discuss your specific room dimensions and help you visualise placement. Many customers are pleasantly surprised by how beautifully the GL-10 fits into their homes, becoming an elegant focal point that enhances the room rather than overwhelming it. The graceful curves and polished finish catch the light beautifully, transforming your space into something special.

SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) construction creates an exceptionally rigid foundation by integrating the pinblock and over-lapping stretcher bar into a single structure solidly anchored to the rim. This structural integrity ensures the piano holds its tuning more stably over time, delivers more powerful and focused tone, and maintains its performance characteristics through years of playing and environmental changes. For families, this means your GL-10 stays reliable through countless practice sessions, recitals, and performances, it's the instrument you can count on year after year, maintaining its voice as your children grow and their playing develops.
