Yamaha GB1K Grand Piano at a Glance:
  • A piano you'll love to play
  • Amazing sounding
  • Reputation for quality pianos


A piano you'll love to play
You'll know you're playing a Yamaha from the moment your fingers grace the keys. Every Yamaha piano uses spruce keys, chosen for its light weight and excellent strength-to-weight ratio. When you play the Yamaha GB1K every nuance and detail of your playing is captured, thanks to the fast response and effortless repitition. And every Yamaha piano is optimized with the same key travel, so every Yamaha piano will play exactly the same.

Amazing sounding
The heart and soul of every Yamaha GB1K is the solid spruce soundboard, selected from only the finest top 10% of quarter-sawn solid spruce. You'll be captivated by the harmonic richness and incredible detail that can never be achieved with lower-quality laminated materials. The finest pianos in the world rely on solid spruce soundboards for maximum amplification, tone, and sustain - which is why you'll find one in every Yamaha piano.

The crown of the soundboard in every Yamaha GB1K Grand Piano is reinforced with full-length ribs that continue to the edge of the soundboard. They are then glued to the notched liner (or inner rim on the grand piano), for optimum transfer of vibration to the body of the piano. The extra reinforcement ensures maximum tonal quality and sonic depth that will last for years, as well as enhancing tuning stability for consistent performance.

Yamaha grand pianos have a worldwide reputation for outstanding quality and value. They are consistently the most highly recommended pianos by professionals around the world. The Yamaha GB1K Grand Piano is among the best Yamaha instruments.
