Extended 43-inch-height Console Piano.

  Its additional height gives it a string-length advantage over the standard 40-inch height of most console pianos. These lengthier strings continue to vibrate for a longer period of time which improves the “duration of tone” or sustain time. A taller piano also permits a more expansive soundboard in square inches producing a stronger overall tone-quality and especially, a more robust bass response. As to vertical pianos – The taller the better! The cabinet is in distressed dark walnut with a satin lacquer finish in a traditional style with straight, tapered legs and brass ferrules at the floor. The music rack is ornate with a metal screen design element and the music desk is sturdy for larger books. The Yamaha model M304 console piano was built at the Yamaha factory in South Haven, Michigan so it is “Made in the USA!”

This instrument is a one-owner and has been a permanent resident here in Albuquerque, so it is happily acclimated to our unique climate. It was purchased new at the longtime authorized Yamaha piano dealership in Albuquerque. Though the piano was built in 1986 it has a modest amount of wear (low mileage). The overall condition is excellent; structurally and aesthetically. We provided a thorough action regulation, cleaning and multiple tunings for stability in our restoration shop. The tuning pins are tight so it holds tune well. Given Yamaha’s well-earned reputation for maintenance-free durability, this piano should provide decades of enjoyment and musical fulfillment. The middle pedal has the mute rail function for nearly silent practice. The original bench with storage is included. We’re happy to warrant the instrument for two years. Complimentary local, first-floor professional delivery is included.

Designed for experienced pianists and professional musicians, the Yamaha vertical piano is among the most popular and respected world-wide. They feature outstanding tone, touch and durability, and they are a perennial favorite among discerning pianists. They offer excellent musical performance, setting the standards by which many other pianos are measured. Refined Yamaha scale-designs and components improve the tonal performance, while other modifications enhance strength and longevity. The Yamaha vertical piano is a popular selection for institutions like schools of music, houses of worship, recording studios and the stage.

The Yamaha logo is three intertwined tuning forks… even on a snowmobile.

The original felt key cover and matching bench is included.
