The original American made Yamaha School Piano.

Yamaha professional upright models are widely used in the practice rooms of music schools due to their durability and tolerance of abuse. A practice room piano can be signed-up for and played for hours every day of the school week, for decades. The model P202 has a reputation for being a low maintenance instrument. This saves the Institution money of course but it also ensures that the music students are practicing on an in-tune instrument that performs well mechanically. They are designed for reliability and stability in adverse environments, then constructed with Yamaha’s legendary quality control.

Designed for schools, practice rooms and teaching studios, the Yamaha model P202 Studio Upright piano is often chosen by experienced pianists for both home and professional use. It is often regarded as the best bargain in the entire Yamaha line partly because it is priced low to compete for school bids. Their uprights are also popular in performance venues, houses of worship and recording studios. Just watch music videos on YouTube and you’ll see their their pianos represented well.

The Yamaha P-series has been well represented in institutions like music departments and studios all over world.

This piano was built in 1979 and played very little so it has minimal amounts of wear in the action. Thankfully, it was never located in a school, just light use in a home. The structural condition is excellent and so is the aesthetics. It was purchased new here in Albuquerque at the Authorized Yamaha piano dealership, Paul Muench Music so it is happily acclimated and fully adjusted to our lack of humidity. We will be happy to warrant the piano for two years.

The piano was in excellent condition when we received it and needed very little. We cleaned the instrument inside and out, tuned it to pitch and regulated the action in the 88 Keys Piano Restoration shop so it performs optimally. The touch is classic Yamaha; expressive, accurate and responsive. The tone quality is lovely. The bass tones are particularly robust, the tenor is rich and the treble sings clear and bell-like. This Yamaha piano is conceivably a life-time purchase.

Built in Grand Haven, Michigan, the Yamaha model P202 studio upright piano cabinetry is suitable for a casual or formal home décor. It isn’t fancy, but stately and handsome with a traditional American appearance. The cabinet is finished in light oak veneers with a satin lacquer finish. It has an ample-sized music desk with sheet music lip that can accommodate larger music books or multi-page musical charts or scores. There is a fallboard lock to protect the keys and a lid lock to restrict access to the inside. The Boston-style fallboard is the two-piece folding type that is more secure and won’t slam shut, nor will it warp, get stuck and scratch the sides. The four dual-wheel casters are sturdy hard rubber so it can be moved easily without damaging the floor. The original duet bench suitable for two players is included. It has storage, too. So is local, first-floor professional delivery.

The Yamaha piano-action has legendary praise among piano technicians.
