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.

Yamaha Upright Pianos

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 ...
.../>
The largest Yamaha upright is also identical, and has a lighter touch than the Boston. It is between a quarter and a third of the price of the Steinway.

Used Steinways and Bostons are rather difficult to locate, and if they have been reconditioned it is important to establish who has done the work, as a used piano is only as good as the technician who did the reconditioning - and the materials used - has made it.

Yamaha Clavinova CLP 120

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 ...

Beautiful Sound

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...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 ...

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, ...

Yamaha P-70

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 ...

Go and buy one!

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 ...

Look at me singing Yamaha's praises!

Advantages: Responsive, beautiful tone, elegant
Disadvantages: Hard to clean, loud!

that you only need to tap it to get a response. This makes it perfect for more technical work, such as trills and ornaments, which are so difficult on an older piano with a less responsive action. Yamaha is the brand to go for if you want a superior upright, without the extortionate cost of a Steinway. But it is vital that you consider the risks of buying second hand. You should be able to get a decent used U3 for around £2-3000, but to be honest it's not worth the hassle. You can't really tell the condition of the soundboard, how much wear it's had and whether it needs a complete overhaul. The only problem with buying a new one is that they go down quickly in value. However, they do tend to stabilise at around this price, making it a good investment. You have to also take into account that the older Yamahas were less well made. There ...

Review of Yamaha U3 - 52 Acoustic Upright U Series Piano

An Excellent choice. The Yamaha Piano is the best

Advantages: A bright evenly toned piano for all abilities
Disadvantages: Some of the older models do not have the soft close lid

The Yamaha U series of pianos are an excellent choice for the intermediate to advanced player. I am a piano teacher and have recently fallen in love with the Yamaha piano. I am in the process of changing my current piano which I always thought was a very good piano to the Yamaha U3. I have introduced to them through my former piano teacher as he has one himself. What can I say. The tone, the fabulous rich bass and the craftsmanship that comprises this instrument is second to none. The stylish glossy black finish makes it a classy addition to any home. This is the sort of piano that will last you a lifetime. it features a quiet pedal for practice and some models have a soft close lid (not that I believe that a piano lid should ever be closed). You cant really go wrong with the U3 or any of the Yamaha range. ...
