Piano review:- Yamaha
One of the world's most well-
This hallmark Yamaha sound is present on many popular music recordings and Yamaha have received many endorsements from musicians around the world including popular musicians Elton John and Jamie Cullum, and classical pianists HJ Lim and Maria Joao Perez. You can see the many endorsements and affiliations on the Yamaha website.
Brand History
The Yamaha Corporation began with the manufacture of pianos well before they made motor bikes and all the other products. The longevity of the Yamaha brand brings with it a constant innovation and refinement with their instruments improving every year. Between this drive for development and the traditional handing down of knowledge from one generation to the next, the Yamaha brand ensures that the character and excellence of tone and reliability is delivered from each piano.
Yamaha have a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental protection and have maintained an ISO 14001 certification at each manufacturing plant. Their long history of production is testament to this awareness and responsibility of management and resources.
Key features
Tone and Materials
From selecting and working with woods to their careful design, every step of the Yamaha manufacturing process has evolved over their long history. This produces an evenness that is evident in their tonal quality and balanced, responsive touch. This balanced response across the keyboard enables the pianist to achieve an equality of expression for any given piece of music.
Our bespoke preparation work aspires to make these qualities the best that they can be. Within this process we consider your own preference for touch and tone which makes for a personally and professionally prepared instrument.

Silent and Disklavier
With a history of innovation Yamaha were one of the first companies in the world to incorporate digital technology into the traditional acoustic piano instrument. With their Silent, TransAcoustic, and Disklavier products they provide almost unlimited flexibility in their application for practice, recording, and song writing.
See our dedicated silent piano page for more information and details here.
Cabinet
The style of a traditional piano with modern flourishes and refinements, this is the Yamaha design. Over their long history they have maintained the recognised shapes and features and brought them into modern design with slow fall keyboards and stylistic choices.
Range
Yamaha have several series and differences between them can be subtle, so it is important to compare them first-
