37-inch Yamaha Starter or Casual Piano.

  With a compact cabinet design, this sleek model will easily fit into any musical or non-musical environment. Its low profile won’t visually dominate a smaller room or overpower it acoustically. It may also fit in a special location where a shorter height is required like under a window, a half wall, shelving or away from a wall in the center, backed up to another piece of furniture. It’s adorned in a warm light cherry satin lacquer finish that breathes color into the room and brightens the surroundings. This is a unique Yamaha vertical sporting a finish other than classic ebony polish. Most are invariably finished in highly reflective black polyester resins that are prone to showing fingerprints, minor scratches and dust particles. Satin wood finishes like this are far more forgiving. It would be a superb addition to a southwestern-style home featuring natural construction materials.

This rare spinet size model is ideal for those looking for Yamaha tone and feel, but not wanting an overly-large or expensive piano. It was built in the main Yamaha factory in Hamamatsu, Japan so it is more desirable than those built in their other factories in Indonesia and China. This instrument has been serviced by Alexander Boggs, the owner of 88 Keys Piano Warehouse for the past fifteen years and has lived in Four Hills Albuquerque for twenty-five, so it is happily acclimated, stable and fully adjusted to our arid southwest climate. He can attest to the piano’s condition and stability. We’ll be happy to provide a two-year full customer satisfaction warranty. The matching original bench with storage is included, and so is complimentary local, first-floor professional delivery and your first tuning.

Though the instrument was built in 1969 it has a modest amount of wear in the piano-action and other moving parts. The overall condition is very good; structurally and aesthetically. The action plays smoothly and responsively for better musical expression. Due to its smaller size it won’t fill a concert hall with a powerful sound, but it does have a pretty, yet petite tone-quality. The talented crew in the 88 Keys piano restoration shop thoroughly refurbished it and brought it to a higher level of play and appearance. So the keyboard is impatiently waiting for its next music maker. It would be an excellent choice for a student to intermediate player seeking a starter or beginners piano.

Given Yamaha’s well-earned reputation for maintenance-free durability, this piano should provide decades of enjoyment and musical fulfillment to the next owner. Designed for the experienced pianist and professional musician, the Yamaha vertical piano is arguably 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 quality components improve the tonal performance, while other modifications enhance strength and longevity. You will find Yamaha vertical pianos everywhere an elevated performance is required including music department faculty offices and practice rooms, houses of worship, on stage, in the recording studio, and even in homes. A quick search on YouTube of music videos including pianos will immediately show the popularity of these instruments.

The pristine keyboard shows our technical prowess with perfectly spaced keys and expertly leveled keytops.

Clock maker Torakusu Yamaha visited the Steinway & Sons factory in 1899 to learn to build pianos.
