Yamaha GC2 – 5’8 Baby Grand Piano Overview

Welcome to Popplers Music. My name is Josh. Let’s talk pianos.

Today, we are going to be taking a look at Yamaha’s GC2 5’8 baby grand piano. The 5’8 cabinet can also be ordered with Yamaha’s CX series. You can get a CX2 5’8 baby grand piano. When jumping up to the CX series, what you get is a more sophisticated sound. You get more crisp clear colors and full sound. Let’s take a look at some of the features of the GC2.

The GC2 may be a small piano, but this piano has a powerful resonance and tone that brings out the subtle nuances of every note. The piano fits wonderfully in homes and fills up the sound of a room quite nicely.

Great pianos start with the finest wood. Soundboards and ribs are crafted by Yamaha artisans using hand-selected spruce from Yamaha’s Kitami wood mill in Hokkaido, Japan.

These pianos share the robust back post design of Yamaha’s Conservatory series pianos, giving them the powerful resonance, durability, and tuning stability you might expect in a larger grand piano.

Bass strings are crafted and hand wound under the watchful eye of Yamaha artisans exclusively for each piano.

Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced vacuum shield mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, more durable frame worthy of the grandest grand piano. Every frame is built to Yamaha’s exacting specifications at Yamaha’s Iwata Forge in Japan.

Yamaha’s unique hammer felt crafted in Japan has been designed to bring out the subtle tones of the instrument and is tested to withstand fluctuations in temperature and humidity and continue playing beautifully for years to come.

Yamaha designers, engineers, and craftsmen were challenged to bring out the express of tone, subtle colors, and dynamics of a conservatory grand from a more compact instrument.

The GC series puts the unmistakable sound of a Yamaha grand piano in more places and in reach of more people than ever before.
