Before Yamaha left the United States to build affordable models in China and Indonesia, they had a manufacturing facility in Georgia.  These are some of the nicest pianos Yamaha has ever produced.

Be sure that the Yamaha piano you are considering is a non-gray market one. Gray market Yamahas have poor resale value, and receive no part or service support from Yamaha America.  Simply input the serial number into Yamaha‘s database to verify a Yamaha‘s legitimacy.  To view Yamaha’s data base Google “Yamaha serial numbers” or simply click on the URL below.

Adjusted for inflation, a piano like this would sell for nearly $7000 today. At only $3,995 including local, ground floor, delivery, tuning and warranty; this is a tremendous value!  If you are considering a new or preowned Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai, Boston, Essex, or any other quality piano, be sure to visit Dave’s Piano Showroom of Tampa Bay!

School, churches and institutions select Kawai not just for their ultra, responsive keyboard and warm, melodic, singing tone; but especially for Kawai’s ABS action.

Nearly 50 years ago Kawai solved the inevitable problem of the sticky key. Sluggish and sticky keys are a direct result of moisture in a piano’s action.   Comparing a Kawai action to a Yamaha action, the results are quite stark.  

Under fracture load analysis, a Yamaha wooden flange breaks at 61.2 pounds in contrast, a Kawai ABS flange breaks at 102.5 pounds, making Kawai’s action nearly 50% stronger.!  The main reason why Kawai uses ABS is not for its strength, because, as it turns out, wood is sufficiently strong.  Kawai uses ABS, because it is more than 30 times resistant to swelling, then comparable wooden parts!

If we expose Yamaha or Steinway action to 90-100% moisture for one to two days, these actions swell by over 5% in size.  Kawai‘s action swells by only .16%, making them more than 30 times resistant to swelling as compared to a traditional piano action.

Visit Dave’s Piano Showroom of Tampa Bay, to experience what most consider to be the world’s most advanced piano.

Before Yamaha went to Indonesia to build there more affordable models, they made pianos in the USA! These pianos are very desirable and rare. This is because the highest caliber pianos made in the world are made in the US. Skilled American labor, tooling, and competent management staff allowed Yamaha to produce some of their finest pianos ever in the US for a short period of time.
