![]() ![]() When we come across one we think you should definitely avoid, we will try to list it here. Unfortunately, as we have said above, not all models of Yamaha are good pianos. We recommend, if buying a new Yamaha or one from 1985 onwards, that you seek the advice of a piano tuner who is familiar with them. There is now so much variely of model and number that it’s difficult to keep track. Since about 1985 they developed a two tier system, with the top quality Yamahas still being made in Japan but others increasingly being made in different countries, mainly Indonesia and China. ![]() The equivalent new price today (2012) would be over £25,000! The early Yamahas are all of guaranteed high quality. Considering that a Yamaha G3/C3 grand piano cost about £4,500 new in 1971 (600,000yen), the equivalent new price according to inflation since then would be £31,000! A Yamaha U1D upright piano cost about £1500 new in 1965 (197,000yen). These are the Yamaha S4A Grand Piano, Yamaha S6A Grand Piano, Yamaha CFIIIS Grand Piano, Yamaha SU118C upright Piano and Yamaha SU7 upright Piano. Yamaha now operate a two tier system with their basic grands and uprights, usually not made in Japan, and the top range series. ![]()
