All these meticulous design features comprise the GX Series’ rigid foundation, ensuring a precise key stroke over time. The entire surface of the hammer rail is finely serrated to hold each hammer flange securely in place for optimum hammer alignment, while the hammer flanges secured to the surface are made by PBT resin that enables the action screws to remain tight without shrinking and swelling. Both the hammer rail and the wippen rail are permanently locked in place to preserve the exacting tolerances of the action design and ensure consistent touch over the life of the piano. GX series hammer rails are made of durable extruded aluminum with our exclusive Dual-Beam design for strength and stability. The hammer rail is the “spine” of the piano’s action. The result is a beautiful, long-lasting key surface with exceptional playability. NEOTEX resists cracking and fading over years of use and is static-resistant to help prevent the build-up of unwanted dust. Since NEOTEX is used for both the sharps and naturals, the feel of the keys is consistent across the entire keyboard. Our exclusive NEOTEX key surface material made of cellulose fiber offers the smooth, understated texture of natural ivory and ebony – and a semi-porous, silica-filled surface to absorb the hand’s natural oils and perspiration. Keysticks are also designed with a slightly taller profile for maximum rigidity to deliver greater power. The length of each key has been extended to make playing easier and provide more even response from the front to the back of the playing surface. It responds with minimal flex and exceptional consistency, transmitting every subtle nuance of the pianist’s performance while remaining stable through years of heavy use. Spruce is the ideal material for the keys – light, yet extremely strong for its weight. The result is a stronger, faster action that offers more power, better control and greater stability than conventional all-wood actions. ABS-Carbon is incredibly sturdy and rigid, which allows the creation of action parts that are lighter without sacrificing strength. The Millennium III Action features components made of ABS-Carbon, a composite material created by the infusion of carbon fiber into our renowned ABS Styran.
