It is for this reason, piano builders have all but left the three countries where the best pianos have historically been constructed; Germany, the USA, and Japan.

New this piano can sell for upwards of $8500. At just $4995 including tuning and warranty, this is a terrific value!  If you are looking for a piano in Tampa Bay such as a Yamaha U1, Kawai K300, Steinway upright, or Boston studio upright you will want to stop by and audition this piano.
