There is a section of his book where a collection of master piano techs and piano aficionados make “staff picks”.  Their picks are based on three criterion classic/perennial favorites (what is popular), good value and the coveted “musical standouts”.  The Yamaha U1 takes the high prize of “musical standout”, but is not considered by those in the know as a good value because it cost over $12,000 with sales tax and delivery!

Yamaha understood human psychology, and that celebrity endorsement is the single most powerful advertising weapon.  If you take the most well known classical concert pianist, violinist, fill in the blank….

These classical musicians can walk the streets of America completely unmolested.  Case in point; Joshua Bell is one of the world’s premier classical violinist. Bell performed six classical pieces in a busy DC metro station.  In just over 40 minutes only a handful of people paid him any attention and tipped him. Bell racked in a whopping $52 for his efforts. 

In contrast, a pop icon like Elton John, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Adele, Sam Smith, Lady Gaga, etc., etc.; musician which cater to the masses have no quiet enjoyment.  Yamaha cleverly puts pianos in the hands of these type of well known musicians.  Do this for decades with hundreds of musicians and you have very successfully created a musical instrument juggernaut!  

Ergo, buy a Yamaha, not because they are the best piano made, but rather because most piano buyers perceive that Yamaha is the best piano made. 

Yamaha, acutely aware of their marketing success, have monetized their brand to the stratosphere.  For example, this 5’3” baby grand piano made in Japan would sell for nearly $40,000 brand new!  Much like a Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, etc., a new Yamaha piano drop in value precipitously win one accepts delivery to their home.

The best way to safeguard your harder money from heavy depreciation, is to purchase preowned.  This like new, 5‘3“ Yamaha baby grand in beautiful cherry wood, adorned with French provincial legs, and a harp shaped lyre is a wonderful example of depreciation, and now excellent value!

At just $12,500 one would be hard pressed to write a check for $25,000 more than the selling price of this piano for a new one. Especially considering that pianos are designed to last 60 to 70 years on average.

Yamaha now is the most popular brand of piano, as a result of their very successful marketing campaign.  Yamaha placed their pianos in front of the world’s most popular musicians.  Their multi decade, marketing campaign has yielded much fruit.  Now, the US population overwhelmingly chooses Yamaha over any other piano brand. 

With their gain in popularity over the years, Yamaha has increased their prices, cashing in on their wildly successful marketing strategy, to what is presently considered by most to be an astronomical level. 

There is however, a silver lining.  Because new Yamaha pianos are so incredibly expensive, much like a luxury automobile; they depreciate significantly when they enter the secondary market. 

Case in point, take this 5’3” white baby grand piano made in Japan.  New, a Japanese made 5’3” polished white baby grand piano cost nearly $30,000!  This piano is now selling for just $8,500!

Kawai has built some of the world’s finest pianos since 1927, in Japan. So impressed with Kawai build quality Steinway chose Kawai to head up their Boston piano building project in 1991. To this day Kawai still assist Steinway in manufacturing their Steinway’s Boston line of pianos.

Kawai is well known for their actions, which lead the industry in innovation. Kawai’s ABS Styran actions resistant moisture, and swelling 30 times better than a comparable wooden action! Sticky keys are a result of moisture in a piano action. Using ABS, eliminates expansion and contraction to a point of being problematic.

If we expose a wooden action to 90 to 100% humidity for a short time, it will swell by roughly 5% in size. In contrast, an ABS action will only swell by .16%. Thus, Kawai’s actions are more than 30 times resistant to swelling then comparable wooden parts!

Additionally, under fracture load analysis we find that an ABS flange breaks at 102.5 pounds. A wooden flange breaks at 61.2 pounds. This results in a 50% stronger material used by Kawai.

There are several other industry leading techniques and materials which Kawai uses in the fabrication of their actions. Kawai uses five action brackets, instead of four (Yamaha uses 4). Kawai’s action bracket is an F type rather than an L type, resulting in more rigidity. Kawai uses a carbon composite blackjack, which is 2.5 times stronger than a wooden jack and never requires lubrication. Kawai uses exclude, aluminum rails and an insuliner strip which locks the flange in place. Kawai uses a machine threaded screw with a washer and lock tight washer, rather than a sheet metal screw, with no washers to secure the flange to the action rail. This is just a few points, which makes Kawai king in the realm of actions.

Visit Dave’s Pianos of Tampa Bay to see a side-by-side comparison of the above mentioned differences between Kawai and Yamaha actions.

If you are considering a Kawai GX-3, GX-5, GX-6, GX-7, Yamaha C3, C5, C6, C7, Yamaha C3X, C5X, C6X, C7X, Steinway model M, B, L, O or A, Boston GP-178, GP-193, GP-212 you will want to audition this piano.
