Touch

• Millennium III Action – Features ABS-Carbon components for reduced weight and greater strength, delivering faster action and improved stability.

• Extended Length Keys Made of Spruce – Engineered to offer even key response and exceptional consistency across the keyboard.

• NEOTEX Key Surface – A cellulose fiber-based surface that simulates natural ivory and ebony texture, with moisture-absorbing properties for better grip.

• Rigid Key Stroke Foundation – Uses a Dual-Beam aluminum hammer rail and precision-locked components to preserve key response over time.

Tone

• Tapered Solid Spruce Soundboard – Carefully selected and tapered for maximum resonance and tonal richness.

• CORE System – Enhances energy reflection through a structural convergence of the rim, plate, and beams, resulting in more powerful and sustained tone.

• Hybrid Inner Rim (Konsei Katagi Rim) – Combines different hardwoods to achieve ideal tonal balance between brightness and warmth.

• Vertically Laminated Bridge – Treble bridges crafted with 13 layers of maple and mahogany for efficient sound transmission and structural integrity.

Strength

• SOLID (Stretcher Over-Lap Integrated Design) – A robust structural design that ensures tuning stability and enhances tonal projection.

• V-Pro Plate – Vacuum Molded Plate with Crossbone Design, ensuring strength and beauty while remaining acoustically neutral.

Exterior Design

• Styled to honor the elegance of a traditional grand piano, the GX-5 features soft curves, a thickened upper-beam for rigidity, and a stunning ebony polish finish.

• Upon opening, the piano reveals intricate craftsmanship, a glowing golden frame, premium inner-rim detailing, and the signature Kawai frame mark.
