How good are Yamaha upright pianos?

Yamaha pianos are unique in themselves. Here are the main reasons why people buy Yamaha pianos:

• immense, controlled power
• clear sounds
• bright treble
• strong bass notes
• even and responsive action
• huge variety of colours
• lots of models to choose from

All this looks great, but why wouldn't I buy a Yamaha upright piano?

Yamaha upright pianos do sound quite bright, they originated from Japan and the Japanese like their pianos to sound on the bright side. A lot of UK musicians prefer the warmer sounding pianos from Germany or Czech Republic.

The cheaper Yamaha upright piano models are made in Indonesia and China. The build quality and sound quality is not as good as the Yamaha pianos assembled in England or the Yamaha pianos made in Japan. If you want to buy a good quality upright piano then it is recommended to spend at least £2,500. This excludes the Yamaha pianos that are produced in China and Indonesia.

Questions

Please let me know the difference between a Yamaha U3 Upright used piano and a Yamaha U30 Upright used piano and the pros and cons between the 2 machines.

Many thanks

Reply/ Hi Renuka

I believe the Yamaha U30 is similar to the U3. The U30 being
a piano made for the Japanese domestic market and not for
export.

If you have seen a U30 in the UK, it must have been exported
illegally.

Yours pianistically,

Any advice on buying second-hand Yamahas? The only new piano I liked (a lot) was the Yamaha U3 but this is possibly out of my price range. New U1s, P121s sounded very loud/bright/harsh. I know that pianos can be voiced.....but CWP did not have any examples of this in store.
 
My only remaining doubt is that this second-hand piano is 20 years older than a new one and could therefore last potentially 20 years less than a new one - it did sound very nice though. It has a 1 year guarantee.
 
Regards,
David

Reply/ Hi David

All modern Yamaha pianos are very bright. For something a bit more mellow you might like to try out a Petrof, Klima or Bohemia.

These pianos are made in the Czech Republic and have a warm, European sound.

The 20 year old Yamaha should be OK. 20 years is nothing for a piano and will last another 40-60 years as long as it is tuned regularly and kept in a room with a constant temperature (not too hot!).
