Yamaha Upright Pianos

I have been 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 has a lighter touch. The largest Yamaha upright is also identical, and has a lighter touch than the Boston. It is between a quarter and a ... more

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 run will save you a lot of money including the money saved in hiring a tuner. It will always work and be in tune unless you get a power cut but ... more

I was looking for many months for a piano and looked at many different makes and styles of different pianos. However, I always 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 ... more

we purchased our yamaha piano about two years ago, and it is still going strong, and it is still nice to play on it. the piano is a great instrument, and whatever level you are at, you will enjoy using a yamaha upright piano. it is cheaper than a grand piano and takes less space. when we purchased ours, we noticed that it was one of the cheapest around, and the quality of the product has been second to none. we have had no real problems with it, and it only needs tuning once every six months. if you wish to start playing the piano, this is the one to buy. even if you are a talented pianist ... more

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 P 70 has two headphone/ aux out sockets and a USB connection. The more recent P85 isn't a lot different. I have after two years began to encounter serious problems with th P 70, when the volume is high it hisses and cracks. I have kept ... more

After touring the country recently, trying out many different types of piano, I settled 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 is a tenth of the price! I have to say that for the money ... more
