A full concert piano at 275 cm. Extraordinary, and almost never the right piano for a home.
Room, floor, lift. Three answers and we can tell you if this is the right piano before you come in.
Yamaha
In the price, not added at the end.
Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.
This is a stage instrument. Everything about the scale assumes an audience and a lot of air.
Near the top of the weight range, which runs from 255 kg up 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. Neither is better. Play both, which you can do on one floor at the shop.
480 kg. This needs loading access and a crew booked for it specifically.
Nothing else we list from Yamaha is exactly 275 cm long, so it sits on its own in the range. If the CF is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
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.
If you are not ready to commit, rent one by the month. Decide to keep it and the rent you have paid comes off the purchase price.
Yamaha's full concert instrument at 275 cm. A stage piano, not a living-room one.
275 cm long, 160 cm wide, 103 cm tall, and about 480 kg. On a grand the length is the number that matters, because it sets the bass string length and the floor space you need.
You need about 2.2 m across and roughly 5.8 m² with room to sit and pass. 480 kg. This needs loading access and a crew booked for it specifically. Tell us the building and we will tell you whether this one can get in.
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. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a CF specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.
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.
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.
Ask what is actually in the shop today. We will send photos of the specific piano, tell you what was replaced in the rebuild, and be honest if another model fits you better.
