UTSA 2023 Kawai GX-1 BLAK Classic Grand Piano
Serial No. 2780196 -5'5"
This retired Kawai GX-1 baby grand piano comes from the University of Texas in San Antonio School of Music. Through a collaborative 2-year loaner program with Kawai Pianos, Alamo Music provides the school with new pianos at no cost. This ensures students have access to high-quality instruments for practice rooms, classrooms, faculty studios, and recital halls. After the loan period, we offer these well-maintained pianos to the public at a substantial discount. This particular piano is in like-new condition with no cosmetic flaws and a beautifully developed, radiant tone. It's an exceptional choice for any home, studio, or performance space, thanks to its history of care and attention.
The GX-1 classic grand piano is an instrument that always exceeds expectations. Seeing its 5′ 5″ frame, one might assume that it was not designed for for high-performance situations. But the GX-1 should never be underestimated. It was built, first and foremost, to be a "performance instrument." Fitted with the same high-end enhancements found in all the GX Performance Series pianos - including the revolutionary Millennium III Grand Action with Carbon Fiber Composites and exclusive NEOTEX™ key surfaces - the GX-1 delivers superb touch and an extraordinary range of tonal expressiveness that rivals any grand piano on the market today. In addition, its flexible size allows it to adapt admirably to a wide range of performance spaces.
