Are all Yamaha pianos good?

Yamaha produces multiple piano models to meet multiple price points. While Yamaha produces a line of beginner models, they are still a high quality maker, and that brings with it a high quality maker price tag.

All things considered, in my opinion, it’s just a smart move.

Used Yamaha pianos, even when a couple of decades old, are still great pianos. If you purchase one that has been very well taken care of and or refurbished, a used Yamaha piano can be just as enjoyable to play as a new one. With the dramatically lower price tag of a used Yamaha as opposed to new, you can also get a lot more piano for your money. With a budget of $4,000-$5,000 and the intention of buying new, you would be entering Yamaha’s beginner B1 or B2 model indonesian made uprights (which are still good pianos), but when considering used, that same budget will often get you a professional series U1 or U3 upright. The same goes with their grand pianos. With a budget of $10,000 for a new Yamaha, you will be able to purchase their beginner model 5’ Indonesian made GB1K model which, arguably is the best entry level grand for its price out there, but if you apply that same budget to used, you’ll often be able to find a Conservatory series C1 or a G3 model. Both of which are larger, and made in Japan. At Seattle Piano Company we refurbish our Yamaha pianos very extensively with a high level of attention to detail in everything involved in the process. We back all of our pianos with a 5-Year Parts and Labor Warranty, and provide the first in-home tuning for free. We take a lot of pride in what we do, and it shows in our pianos.

If you have any questions (even if you’re not purchasing from us),

please feel free to give us a call. We’d love to hear from you.
