Perform an on-line search, as to what upright piano should one consider for purchase, the Yamaha U1 and the Kawai K300 will inevitably populate at the top of the results.

Both the Kawai K300 and Yamaha U1 are considered pro series vertical pianos. The delineation between non-pro series pianos refers to more or less just the height.  As a piano increases in height, the surface area of the soundboard increases and the strings become longer. These two variables are largely what determines dB production.

Just because a piano is shorter, does not mean the piano cannot be used for higher level play, or that the piano will last longer, or have better tuning stability. All higher level pianists prefer a prodigious bass and huge tone.  A shorter piano will more than suffice for 95%+ of the piano buying public.

A new Yamaha U1 and Kawai K300 approach and even exceed $12,000.  A preowned Yamaha U1 under 10 years old can still fetch $8000-$9000.  At just $4990, this studio upright piano, which is the same size as the current Yamaha B2 model, would make an excellent choice for most vertical piano buyers in Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St Pete, Palm Harbor and beyond

Japanese workmanship is synonymous with precise execution and attention to the most minute detail.  While Boston pianos are naturally equivalent to their Kawai counterparts, Boston pianos tend to be more expensive than Kawai.  This is due to the fact that there is an additional layer of markup, as Kawai does not build the Boston pianos out of the kindness of their heart. Kawai charges Steinway a sizable premium to construct the Boston. This additional layer of markup must then be passed on to the consumer.

A new Boston studio piano of this size retails for just under $10,000. At just $5,990 this is an incredible opportunity for someone to own a fine Japanese instrument for a small fraction of the new cost. If you are searching for a Yamaha U1, Yamaha U3, Kawai K300, Steinway upright piano, in the greater Tampa Bay area, you should certainly put this piano on your must-see list!
