Yamaha may be the most renaissance of modern companies. In addition to motorcycles, guitars, amps, basses, and drums they also produce some excellent pianos. There are digital Yamaha pianos as well as clavinova Yamaha pianos too. They have both fully acoustic versions as well as modern takes on the player piano. Many may not know it, but Yamaha also makes grand pianos of various sizes and prices.On the small end of their grand piano scale (pun intended), there is the GB1 model Yamaha piano. This is a baby grand that does not sacrifice any of the quality of its more expensive brethren. Some of its many features include an advanced scale design, a soundboard composed of solid spruce, aluminum alloy action rails, and solid copper wound bass strings.
As we get into the larger Yamaha grand pianos, we enter what they call their Conservatory Classic Collection. The C1 is a great model from this line and it has some excellent features including a complete tone collector system, dovetail joints, and duplex scaling. The C1 also comes with spruce keys, hardwood buttons, and a full sostenuto. In order to assure maximum tonal quality, the C1 utilizes a precise note-by-note strike point alignment.
For those on a smaller budget who still want to enjoy the beauty of a great acoustic piano, Yamaha has some upright offerings as well. Their M112PE is a great little piano that has the looks and the sound of a much more expensive model. It has full length ribs and a notched liner, and it has a soundboard composed of solid spruce. It also features hard maple bridges, a mute pedal for silent practice, and cut thread tuning pins. Finding the perfect Yamaha piano is largely a matter of matching your budget with your playing style. If you are on a budget, it can be a good idea to look for a used Yamaha piano, or a more inexpensive electric Yamaha piano.
