Kawai GX3 188cm Grand Piano; Polished Ebony
Kawai GX3 188cm Grand Piano; Polished Ebony
Produced in Kawai’s Ryuyo Factory, the Kawai GX3 is a 6'1" grand piano that is suited to home use, studios, or small performance spaces. This piano features Kawai’s Millennium III action, which uses durable ABS-Carbon components for a reliable and responsive touch as well as the tapered solid spruce soundboard which ensures a clear and resonant tone. The GX3 combines quality materials with precise craftsmanship, offering a consistent and balanced sound.
Kawai’s GX Grand Piano range benefits from specially selected materials, advanced design techniques, and precise craftsmanship with meticulous attention to detail. Every GX piano is prepared thoroughly by Kawai’s master technicians to ensure that each piano performs to the highest standard.
Exquisite Japanese craftmanship and the best quality materials used in production make the GX3 a fantastic choice where quality and attention to detail is sought after. At 188cm in depth, the rich tone and expression you are able to achieve from this instrument is beyond most instruments of this size. This is partly thanks to the rigorous selection process of the materials used, and the relationship between the light, responsive Millennium III Keyboard Action and the soundboard and frame. These features work harmoniously together, to create an instrument to satisfy even the best concert pianist.

Kawai GX3 Features
- CORE Syetem - to provide a solid core foundation
- Premium Neotex Coating on black and white keys – this absorbs moisture and enhances touch control
- Agraffes - ensuring string alignment and consistency of ”speaking length”
- Vertically laminated treble bridge - laminated with 13 layers of maple and mahogany for maximum strength and optimal transfer of sound energy.
- V-pro plate - strong and stable
- Pinblocks - fully laminated with layers of North American hard maple for maximum strength and balance
- Tuning pins - made from high quality carbon steel, nickel plated to provide long-term protection
- Steel-reinforcement - prevents warping and keys from sticking to the keyslip, as well as supporting the action in the keybed
- Soft-Fall Fallboard - to prevent injury to hands or damage to the finish of the piano
Keyboard Action
Kawai's highly acclaimed Millenium 3 action delivers exceptional sensitivity and control, using carbon fibre infused ABS components for increased strength and stability. This innovative design results in a lighter, faster, and more reliable action that enhances expression and dynamic range. It also reduces mechanical noise and ensures long-term durability. Longer keys and concert-length key buttons make for an easy playing feel while giving great power.
As well as incorporating Kawai’s ground-breaking Millennium III Action, the GX3’s key length has been increased considerably. The fulcrum distance is greater than in typical Grand Pianos, and as such the key pivot length is extended. In simpler terms, this keyboard allows for the most expressive control imaginable, whether you are playing at the very tip of the key, or towards the back. This consistent touch feels light, and extremely responsive, allowing for the slightest nuances in playing to be heard and felt.
Tonal Purity
The woods used in the production of the GX3 go through a rigorous selection process, with only the very finest being selected. For the soundboard, woods selected will generate the rich and deep bass tones as well as the resonance and sparkle in upper registers, whereas woods used for the bridges, ribs and even inner-rims are carefully considered before selection to ensure maximum durability and power
Premium Grand Piano hammers are used in the production of the GX3, made with felts from the best Oceanian wool. The delicate, soft exterior allows for easy pianissimo playing, while the tough, rigid interior is saved for fortissimo playing, giving you the best of both worlds across a vast range of dynamics. The hammers are also under-felted, which adds resilience and also means the hammers can be voiced in a way that maximises the tonal output of the instrument.
Long-Lasting Durability
Improvement to the overall rigidity of the GX3 thanks to an increased thickness in the wooden beam connected to the outer rim gives the piano a more immersive sound, along with exceptional tensile strength, supporting even the most expressive playing with ease. The strength of the carbon steel tuning pins also means the piano has excellent tuning stability
CORE System
The CORE system is a structural feature in selected Kawai grand pianos that focuses the piano's strength centres towards a central point. The GL50 benefits from this system, meaning that the rim, plate, and underside beams of the piano converge at a metal connector in the centre of the instrument. This creates a solid core foundation to maximise the rim's reflective capabilities, resulting in greater power, longer sustain, and a more resonant tone.
