When it comes to comparing Kawai baby grand pianos, many experts feel the Japanese-built Kawai GM12 stands head and shoulders above the Indonesian version, the GL10.

While both the GM12 and the GL10 sound nice, the GM12 offers depth and richness. Many find its sound more robust and resonant, with more warmth and clarity. Whether you’re playing soft, delicate passages or powerful, dramatic chords, the GM12 responds with a dynamic range and expressiveness.

In terms of touch and playability, the GM12 once again takes the lead over its successor. Keys have a nice balance of weight and responsiveness, providing a natural and fluid playing experience that is quite satisfying. The action feels smooth and precise, allowing for effortless control over every nuance of your performance. In comparison, some find the GL10’s keys feel somewhat stiff and lacking in sensitivity, making it challenging to achieve the same level of expression and finesse.

Another area where the GM12 excels is in its craftsmanship and construction. Kawai is renowned for their attention to detail and commitment to quality, and it shows in every aspect of the Japanese GM12’s design. From its sturdy build to its flawless finish, this piano is a true work of art that will stand the test of time. In contrast, while the Indonesian-built GL10 is good, we find it doesn’t seem to reach the same level as the GM12.

Finally, let’s consider value for money. While both the GM12 and the GL10 are premium instruments with price tags to match, the GM12 offers a superior playing experience that more than justifies its cost. This model is offered at a fraction of even a discounted GL10 and backed by our Pitch Perfect Guarantee, Five Year Trade-up Guarantee, and Exclusive STAR Warranty.
