Making the call

Is The C3 Right For You?

Both sides of it. If the right-hand column sounds like your situation, say so and we will point you elsewhere.

Choose the C3 if

The room is large enough that a smaller grand would sound thin in it
You teach, accompany or record and need an instrument that holds up
You are fitting out a studio, a school room or a hall

Look at something else if

This is a family living room rather than a studio
You cannot give it clearance on all sides with the lid open

Tell Us Your Situation

Sound and size

What The C3 Sounds Like

Bass that carries without effort, and a treble that keeps singing when pushed. It needs a big room to make sense. Against the Yamaha C5 it is 14 cm shorter and 20 kg lighter.

Middling for weight in a range that spans 255 kg to 480 kg.

Yamaha is the brighter and quicker of the two, which is why exam candidates keep asking for one. Some players find the treble tiring over long sessions. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and twenty minutes at the shop settles it faster than any description.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

A used piano is only as good as the work done to it. Strings and dampers replaced where needed, hammers reshaped or renewed, the action regulated until repetition is even, pedal linkages set, case refinished. Then it is tuned and left to settle.

Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

Renting first is the low-risk way in. Nothing you pay is wasted, because it counts toward buying the piano later.

Questions

Yamaha C3: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha C3?

186 cm long, 149 cm wide, 101 cm tall, and about 320 kg. On a grand the length is the number that matters, because it sets the bass string length and the floor space you need.

Will a C3 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.2 m² with room to sit and pass. 320 kg. We walk the route before the day rather than discovering it on the morning. Tell us the building and we will tell you whether this one can get in.

Is a used C3 a safe buy?

Can I rent a C3 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a C3 specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.

Do you have a C3 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. If we do not have one, we will say so and tell you what is close on size and weight.

How often does a C3 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it. Two tunings after delivery are included when you buy from us.
