Kawai Rx2: Vs Gx2

The Kawai RX-2 (5'10") and the GX-2 (5'11") are highly similar in tonal characteristics, with the GX-2 serving as the evolutionary successor to the popular RX-2, introduced about 10 years ago to offer improved structural and mechanical design. While sharing a warm, "American-style" sound for Asian pianos, the GX-2 introduces subtle upgrades, including slightly thicker rims, redesigned beams, and a slightly longer key-stick length for better control, making the GX-2’s action feel more comparable to a larger 6'6" piano.
