Advantages: Quality and cost. Disadvantages: Doesn't quite have the status of the similar size Steinway piano.
...able to compare the largest Yamaha Upright with the equivalent pianos from Steinway and the mass produced Boston (marketed by Steinway) These pianos look identical in size and shape.
If you are a serious musician, and you keep in practice, you will probably prefer the Steinway. This has a firm touch, giving an experienced player a wider dynamic range and range of expression. The Boston is identical, but about half the price of the Steinway, and ... ...the UK who are importing Yamaha pianos from Japan, reconditioning them (the Japanese consumer changes pianos like we change our cars - and they also like a brighter tone that the average UK consumer - hence the need to replace or re-tone the hammers for the UK market). These dealers are selling them for about 50% of the new cost. This means you can get the largest and best Yamaha upright piano for under £3,000 from a dealer with delivery and a full ...

Advantages: Full piano length keyboard and its cheaper than a real piano Disadvantages: You need a mains supply nearby
I bought this digital piano about 3 months ago and its great. At the time I was on my grade 6 in piano and was getting a bit fed up of my little keyboard of having too few keys and not having two pedals so I persuaded my dad in letting me buy a digital piano. This is much better than a normal piano because you don’t have to ever tune it and it is much cheaper to buy in the first place. It is about £1000 cheaper than a normal piano and so in the long ... ...money saved in hiring a tuner. It will always work and be in tune unless you get a power cut but that’s very unlikely. Some other advantages of it are the other sounds other than just a grand piano. There is a guitar and even a choir. Now you won’t get different sounds with real pianos. You are even able to transpose the sound. This is great to play around as when I get fed up of repeating the same piece over and over, its fun to play around with ...

...seemed to go back to Yamaha when looking in the shops. They produce such beautiful sounds and are lovely to sit at and play. I do think though that choosing a piano should be a personal choice and I think that you need to play the piano to choose which one is right for you. I would however recommend a Yamaha piano to anybody-whether you are just starting to learn how to play or if you are an experienced player. I just love Yamaha pianos ...

Advantages: Great value, great sound, weighted keys, ease of transport. Disadvantages: None
I own a Yamaha P70. It is a full size electric piano. I bought the proper stand to go with it which is much more safe and secure than the cheaper alternatives. It has 2 Grand Piano, 2 Organs, Vibraphone, Strings and 2 Electric Piano sounds. As a portable musician I can easily take the stand off carry it around and do gigs. The piano itself is quite light. The feel of the keys is excellent, very well weighted and they can stand a right bashing. Much ...

Advantages: A beautiful sound at asuper price Disadvantages: Not quite the warmth of a Steinway
...in the end on a Yamaha upright - much to my surprise. I had this idea that a Yamaha piano would sound mass produced. It would not have a personal, warm wound you would associate with say a Steinway. How wrong could I be! The sound, and feel of a Yamaha is superb!
There are 2 special areas of excellence - the bass is so rich and thick, and the mid to high range notes are so bright and crisp. A superb combination.
True this is no Steinway, but it ...
