Oops, that's a C series inside a G series case.

I tune a lot of them. The Yamaha salesperson here told me that GC series is supposed to be a C series in the inside a G series case. To tell the truth, I've never looked that closely, but the GC does not have a sostenuto mechanism. The GB-1 is quite nice for a little piano--the tuning stability is pretty good--or maybe all the ones I tune are in good homes with decent humidity control. They respond well to voicing. Technically, the thing I've had to correct the most is tight keys.

The GP-1 that Rick is talking about has gone. Current models are GB-1, 
GC-1 & GC-2 and can be seen at: Classic Collection 
<http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/List/ModelSeriesList.html?CNTYP=PRODUCT&CTID=200400>. 
Does anyone tune these current models?
