Kawai GL-10 Piano: What It's Worth in 2026, Prices & Listings
- Size
- 5'0" (153 cm) baby grand
- Made
- Introduced in the mid-2010s as the entry point of Kawai's GL series, replacing the GM-10 and GM-12
The Kawai GL-10 is the smallest grand Kawai makes: a five-foot baby grand built around the same Millennium III action, with its carbon-reinforced ABS parts, that the larger GL and GX pianos use. It is the piano most buyers mean when they ask for a new Kawai baby grand, and it is one of the most common late-model baby grands on the used market because so many were sold through dealers in the last decade.
Used GL-10s are young pianos. Most have one owner, a dealer service history and little wear, so condition matters less than it does for a vintage piano and the asking price tracks age and finish closely.

What to know about the Kawai GL-10
- The GL-10 replaced the GM-10 and GM-12; the older GM pianos are similar in size and price a little lower on the used market.
- Five feet is the smallest practical grand. The GL-10 wins on touch and reliability, not on bass; if the room allows, the GL-20 and GL-30 add length and depth of tone.
- Ebony polish is the common finish and the easiest to resell; mahogany, walnut and white examples are scarcer and sell to a narrower audience.
- Dealer-sold GL-10s often carry the balance of Kawai's warranty, which transfers only under Kawai's conditions. Ask the selling dealer.
- An ATX or AnyTime silent version adds a headphone system and prices higher when it works.

How much is a used Kawai GL-10 worth?
See the live asking prices above. Dealer-prepared GL-10s sit at the top of the range with a warranty; private sales sit below the median.
Kawai GL-10 or Yamaha GC1?
They are the two mainstream five-foot-class baby grands. The GC1 is a few inches longer; the GL-10 has the Millennium III action with carbon-reinforced parts. Both hold value well; play both and choose on touch.
Is a five-foot grand big enough?
For most living rooms and students, yes. Bass depth is the compromise at this length; a GL-10 is chosen for the grand action and the look, not for concert-hall power.
