Designed by Steinway \u0026amp; Sons in the USA and expertly built by Kawai in Japan, it combines Steinway’s renowned design expertise with Japanese craftsmanship and precision. The result is a high-quality grand piano that offers an attractive alternative to a new Yamaha C2X or Kawai GX-2, while serving as a natural progression towards a Steinway Model O.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP178 incorporates a range of Steinway-inspired innovations that enhance both tone and performance. These include a wide-tail design, duplex scaling, a rock maple inner rim, and a solid, tight-grained Sitka spruce soundboard. Lower string tension contributes to greater sustain, improved clarity, and a rich, singing tone. Distinctive design details, such as the squared-off cheeks characteristic of New York-built Steinway grands, further reflect its heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured in 2015 and lightly used, this piano is presented in excellent condition and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern Boston grand piano at a significantly lower cost than a new instrument. Equally suited to the discerning home pianist, teacher, or serious student, the Boston GP178 delivers a refined playing experience, impressive musical versatility, and outstanding value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"name\"\u003eDominic Barnett – Chamberlain Pianos\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boston","offers":[{"title":"A1","offer_id":57776027763072,"sku":"IK-2ND9793","price":17999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/2789\/5427\/files\/IK-2ND9793_1.jpg?v=1781088022","url":"https:\/\/www.chamberlainpianos.co.uk\/products\/used-boston-gp178-grand-piano-2015","provider":"Chamberlain Pianos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
