Compare this used Yamaha Disklavier Baby Grand piano to the new version and you will be amazed. Looking at them side by side, it is impossible to tell the new from the used piano.
Both have a two position prop for the lid and “all of the power, tonality and expressive range of a classic Yamaha grand.” For half of the price of the new Yamaha piano, this used baby grand player piano has all of the most popular features.
This Yamaha piano features a solid spruce soundboard with permanent crown and, according to the manufacturer, has been specifically seasoned for the US market. Other features this used Yamaha Disklavier baby grand shares with the new Yamaha piano include Full Length Ribs to reinforce the soundboard crown, more accurately molded V-Pro Plate, Extruded Aluminum Action Rails for long-lasting action regulation, Spruce keys for quicker repetition, and more!
It can even be upgraded to the newest Cloud Player system so you can operate your piano from any smartphone, tablet, iPad, or computers in your home!
Upgrading to the new Cloud Player piano means never having to buy Disklavier player piano music again! All songs play from the simple cloud built into the piano, making a used Yamaha Disklavier a much easier piano to operate.
Yamaha pianos first gained notice in the United States in the late 1960’s. Their popularity increased in the mid 1970’s as they were seen as cheaper alternatives to American built pianos at that time. While some feel their quality has too far of a range from low to high and today their pianos cost several times what they did in their earlier years, a good condition used Yamaha grand piano can be a great value.
As the closeout center for the Steinway Piano Gallery, we get lot of pianos traded in for great new Steinway pianos. We thoroughly inspect every trade-in to make sure the instrument meets our high standards.
What about Gray Market Yamaha Pianos?
First of all, this is not a gray market piano which can be verified at Yamaha’s website.
Secondly, even Yamaha has backed off of using the term “gray market.” Because Yamaha piano prices have gone up so dramatically due to increasing value of the Yen in the 1980’s and 90’s, there was a lot of interest in used Yamaha pianos. Around this same time, it was difficult to sell used pianos in Japan because – with their strong currency – they had more buying power and could afford higher quality pianos made in the United States like Steinway & Sons. Some enterprising folks decided to buy up used pianos in Japan, shine them up a little, and send them on a boat to the United States. One would guess this would create a problem for the US distributor of Yamaha pianos and they responded by saying they would not warranty the pianos (which were already out of warranty) and would not provide parts (which other companies already were making).
One other big point Yamaha made was that these pianos were not seasoned for the US market. This means that the wood was not dried as much before they began making a piano out of it. In very dry climates, this occasionally created a problem.
Again, since this Yamaha baby grand is not a Gray Market piano, you have no worries.
We are the no-risk, worry-free, fun place to find a great piano!
Price comparison is based on the Yamaha piano price $19,999 published on their website as of March 25, 2015.
