Disklavier

In pianos, bigger is usually better.  The C2 is a well-built piano.  The GC1
is a cheaper version of the C1.  Different materials in the case, piano
hammers and the amount of work put into it at the factory.  That is why it
is so much cheaper.  Try to get a good deal on the C2.  Ultimately though,
you should listen to each of these pianos and decide for yourself!
