Yamaha Music India has launched the all-new GCB Grand Piano, the
newest member of Yamaha’s GC Series and its most compact grand piano
made in Japan. Designed for aspiring grand piano owners, musicians and
those looking for a piano upgrade, the GCB brings together Yamaha’s celebrated
touch, tone and craftsmanship in a compact design suited for modern living
spaces.
Measuring 5 feet (151 cm) in length, the GCB is designed for
those seeking an authentic Grand Piano experience while balancing practical
considerations such as space and budget.
Mr. Ryoji Maruyama, Sales Unit Head, Yamaha Music India,
said, “The GCB represents an important addition to Yamaha’s Grand Piano
portfolio. Designed and crafted in Japan, it brings together the touch, tone
and craftsmanship that Yamaha Grand Pianos are known for in a more compact
format. With its design philosophy rooted in Yamaha’s renowned CX Series and
the expertise of the skilled craftspeople at our Kakegawa Factory, the GCB
offers an authentic Grand Piano experience for musicians and aspiring piano
owners.”
The GCB is also Yamaha’s first Grand Piano of its size to feature the Tone
Collector, helping create a rich and lingering resonance. Its rim
construction uses lamination techniques from the GC and CX Series,
supporting a sustained and richer sound. The piano also features a sliding
music desk, allowing for a comfortable playing position, natural posture and
improved visibility of the musical score. Designed with long-term quality in
mind, the GCB features a frame crafted using Yamaha’s advanced V-Pro
technology (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) at its Iwata Foundry, supporting
the extraordinary string tension of the instrument.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Rehan Siddiqui, General Manager,
MI-Sales & Marketing Division, Yamaha Music India, said, “Many
musicians and piano enthusiasts aspire to own a Grand Piano, but factors such
as space and accessibility can often influence that decision. The GCB has been
designed keeping these considerations in mind, offering the experience of a
Made-in-Japan Yamaha Grand Piano in a compact size. We believe it will appeal
to aspiring Grand Piano owners, musicians looking to upgrade from an Upright
Piano and those who want to bring the elegance and musical experience of a
Grand Piano into their homes.”
