Bright and clear-voiced with an appreciable improvement in both feel, fullness of tone, dynamic range and cabinet-build over the GB1K and yet still, the Yamaha GC1M manages to be quite sensibly-priced.

Specification: Solid Spruce Soundboard, Full Duplex Scaling, Tone Collectors, Adjustable-Music Desk, Standard-Height & Thickness Rim.

With fine preparation, the Yamaha GC1M can deliver superior performance to earlier G1 and C1 models owing to the recent C1 scale inherited in this model. Smooth tenor/bass transition, richer tone and less sterile/neutral than earlier mid-series Yamaha small grands.
