Making the call

Is The C5 Right For You?

Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.

Choose the C5 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 C5 Sounds Like

In a hall this is a serious instrument. In a lounge it mostly tells you how reflective your walls are. Against the Yamaha C3 it is 14 cm taller and 20 kg heavier.

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. There is no right answer here. Both are on the floor, so try them back to back.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

The risk with any used piano is buying somebody else's problem: polished case, fine for a month, then it will not hold a tuning. Ours are rebuilt twice before you see them, once in Japan and again in our own workshop here, and the second pass happens after the instrument has crossed the equator and shown us how it reacts to this climate.

Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will.

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 C5: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha C5?

200 cm long, 149 cm wide, 101 cm tall, and about 340 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 C5 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.4 m² with room to sit and pass. 340 kg, moved in parts and reassembled in the room, then levelled and tuned once it is standing. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.

Is a used C5 a safe buy?

Can I rent a C5 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a C5 specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.

Do you have a C5 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. If nothing suits, we will tell you that too.

How often does a C5 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will. Two free tunings in the first fortnight come with the piano.
