The Yamaha GC2 is a welcomed larger sibling to the already well-received GC1M. The Yamaha GC2 extends the appreciable refinements to a 5’8″ model with deeper bass and warmer tenor. Dynamic range is enhanced again making for an attractive proposition in a sensibly-priced new small grand by Yamaha.
Specification: Solid Spruce Soundboard, Full Duplex Scaling, Tone Collectors, Adjustable-Music Desk, Standard-Height & Thickness Rim.
Based on the Yamaha C2X Conservatoire grand, the GC2 utilises less refined materials (hammers, strings, soundboard and keytops) but still realising a good piano standard that is more readily accessible.
With fine preparation, the Yamaha GC2 can deliver superior performance to earlier G2 models owing to the recent C2 scale inherited in this model. Smooth tenor/bass transition, richer tone and less sterile/neutral than earlier mid-series Yamaha small grands.
