Where it sits
Its price class holds 9 grand pianos between €11,250 and €34,150 (EU street prices) – the Yamaha GC1 sits in the middle there. The Yamaha C1X from the same brand sits around €5,500 above it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Kawai GL-30.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Wooden keys instead of plastic – closer to an acoustic piano
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- Compact grand above the GB series
Against it
- Needs tuning once or twice a year – running costs a digital piano does not have
