Kawai GL-10 ATX4 Silent Grand Piano, 5′

Description

The Kawai range of ATX4 hybrid acoustic pianos combine the latest development of technology with Kawai’s tradition and craftsmanship.

Key improvement features of the new ATX4 silent system include:

• Controller in the Piano Remote App (no built in display or control panel) which is available for iOS or Android.  This app includes a new recording function enabling you to record MIDI and audio, aswell as full quality audio recordings with an interface or external microphone (sold separately).  Further, more the app enables you to share the recordings easily or edit in other music apps.
• Improved SK-EX Sound Rendering with multi-channel sampling and resonance modelling.
• New Virtual Technician Parameters including hammer and release noise.
• Master Piano Artisans have supervised the sound and touch development to help achieve silent piano performance using the ATX4 as closer to an acoustic piano.
• Improved GP Touch Muting System so the hammer stops just before hitting the strings at the same time as normal playing enabling normal grand piano touch whether playing acoustically or on muting mode (with headphones).
• With the PiaBookPlayer App you can view a total of 377 pieces of the notated scores, and listen to them playback.
• The ATX4 features Bluetooth Midi and Bluetooth Audio. This allows connection to your device and apps wirelessly – whether recording songs or playing music so you can accompany on the piano.  There is also improved audio quality, with less latency

Features of the GL10 Grand Piano:

• The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by the infusion of carbon fiber into Kawai’s renowned ABS Styran. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allows the creation of action parts that are lighter without sacrificing strength. The result is a stronger, faster action that offers more power, better control and greater stability than conventional all-wood actions.
• Longer keys make playing easier and provide a more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface. A taller profile and concert-length key buttons make them more rigid to provide exceptional energy transfer and optimum power.
• Solid Spruce tapered Soundboard:The soundboard transforms the vibrations of the piano’s strings into a rich, resounding tone. Kawai uses only straightgrained, quarter-sawn solid spruce for GL series soundboards. Each one is strategically tapered to provide the proper degree of resonant movement in each region. Only soundboards that meet or exceed our demanding resonance standards are selected for use in the GL series grand pianos.
• SOLID construction (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) creates an exceptionally rigid foundation to support string tension. First, the pinblock is fitted to the plate. Then, the pinblock and over-lapping stretcher bar are integrated into a single structure and solidly anchored to the rim. The extraordinary thickness of the stretcher bar exemplifies the structural integrity of this sturdy framework designed to ensure stable tuning and powerful tone.
• The Vacuum Molded Plate over which the strings are tensioned has a Crossbone Design resulting in a plate that is strong, stable and beautiful.
