Making the call

Is The G5 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 G5 if

  • You teach, accompany or record and need an instrument that holds up
  • The room is large enough that a smaller grand would sound thin in it
  • 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
Sound and size

What The G5 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 G3 it is 17 cm taller and 25 kg heavier.

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

Two pedals, which is normal for its generation and market. We will say if the one on the floor has had a third added.

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.

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.

For families not yet sure the lessons will stick. Rent a restored piano monthly, and if you keep it, everything paid comes off the price.

Questions

Yamaha G5: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha G5?

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 G5 fit my place?

You need about 2.1 m across and roughly 4.4 m² with room to sit and pass. 340 kg. We walk the route before the day rather than discovering it on the morning. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.

Is a used G5 a safe buy?

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. Five years of parts and labour cover comes with it, from the same people who rebuilt it.

Can I rent a G5 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a G5 specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.

Do you have a G5 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. When we are out, we say so rather than steer you into whatever is on the floor.

How often does a G5 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.
