With almost a century of fine piano craftsmanship as a foundation, Kawai takes the piano into the future with the GL-30 AURES 2 AnyTime Hybrid Grand Piano. Flawlessly blending advanced digital piano technology into the traditional grand piano, the GL-30 AURES 2 reaches new heights of musical possibilities.
