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!

If you want to join the masses in flocking to the Yamaha brand, but do not have the stomach to shell out gobs of cash for a new one, then visit Dave’s Piano Showroom of Tampa Bay.  Dave specializes in like new Yamaha, Steinway, and new Kawai Pianos.

The Yamaha tone is well known for being sharp, bright, and piercing; and is on full display even on this model. Rest assured despite its small size, it produces a clear, nearly glass-shattering tone perfect for jazz, bluegrass, and honky tonk! 

If you are a higher caliber player and require a sostenuto pedal and a music desk, with mobility front to back you will want to look at Kawai’s GL-10, as the Yamaha GB1 only has a bass sustain as its center pedal and a fixed, non-movable music rack.

If you are a classical pianist a Kawai GL-10 is often the better option, as Kawai offers a warm, rich tone and a slightly firmer action, which more advanced pianists often prefer.

Additionally, the Kawai’s 12,000-part Millennium III action is made in Japan, not Indonesia. This translates to superior design, craftsmanship and ensures durability for several decades.

If you speak to any Yamaha or Kawai piano enthusiast they will always insist upon a Japanese model and will never consider an Indonesian-made instrument. The trend away from Yamahas made in Indonesia, China, or Taiwan and inclination towards Japanese and American-made Yamahas amongst the piano-buying public, has been well documented over the last two decades.

Make sure it is not gray! Gray market Yamaha pianos are ones, which were never intended to be in the US market. Yamaha has a free database that allows piano shoppers, to use the serial number to quickly and easily determine if the preowned Yamaha piano you are considering is supposed to be in the USA.

If the piano is NOT supposed to be here, Yamaha will offer no part or material support! Dave’s Piano Showroom is the only piano store in Tampa Bay to take a public stance with Yamaha against gray market pianos. Contact Dave and he will gladly run any Yamaha serial number for you, using Yamaha’s official website.
