If you're looking for a piano that delivers concert-style power, professional-grade sound, and a timeless look—without going full concert grand—let us introduce you to the Yamaha GC2.
At World Class Piano Gallery, the Yamaha GC2 is one of our most-loved grand pianos for a reason. It brings together premium craftsmanship, rich tone, and a size that fits beautifully in living rooms, teaching studios, recital halls, and everywhere in between.
🎼 What Is the Yamaha GC2?
The GC2 is the larger of Yamaha’s two GC Series grand pianos, and it shows. At 5'8" in length, it offers deeper bass, broader projection, and greater dynamic range than its baby grand sibling, the GC1.
But make no mistake—while it offers more power, it’s still thoughtfully sized for homes, small venues, and musicians who want a full experience without a full concert footprint.
🎵 Rich, Resonant, and Ready to Perform
Thanks to Yamaha’s legendary engineering, the GC2 delivers a full-bodied tone that rivals much larger grand pianos. Its longer strings and larger soundboard allow for exceptional sustain and warmth, especially in the lower register.
Whether you’re performing a Chopin nocturne, composing original pieces, or teaching advanced students, the GC2 gives you the expressive range and tonal clarity you need.
✨ Key Features That Set It Apart
✅ 5'8" Grand Piano Length – Longer bass strings = deeper, fuller tone
✅ Spruce Soundboard & Ribs – For beautiful resonance and sound projection
✅ Duplex Scaling (like in Yamaha’s C Series) – Adds harmonic complexity and richness
✅ Responsive Action – Yamaha’s balanced and sensitive touch for total control
✅ Elegant Design – Available in polished ebony, mahogany, walnut, and more
✅ Soft-Close Fallboard – Gentle closure and a touch of luxury
🎯 Who Is the Yamaha GC2 Perfect For?
Advanced students or serious pianists looking for a more robust, nuanced instrument
Families wanting a long-term piano investment that looks and sounds amazing
Teachers and studios that need a durable, expressive piano for daily use
Performance spaces that need quality sound without the size of a full concert grand
