Overview
Several new grand pianos arrived in the showroom recently, including a Yamaha G2 from 1987. At the moment we are lucky enough to have a number of Yamaha Grand pianos in stock but here we take a closer look at the 1987 Yamaha G2. At 170cms in length this model works well in domestic settings, it produces a very powerful sound without overpowering its surroundings. The classic black gloss case finishes off a smart looking Grand Piano. This model also includes a full sostenueto pedal unlike some its earlier counterparts.
Touch and Tone
When it comes to Grand pianos I usually find older European models preferable to the brighter sounding modern Yamahas. However, this Yamaha G2 may prove to be an exception to that. Here we have a really nice example of a Yamaha G2 with a lovely rich, pure tone and a nice responsive action. The tone is very nicely balanced across the keyboard and especially pleasant in the middle. The Yamaha G2 has a very good amount of power for louder playing but also offers plenty of space in its range for soft dynamics. This is definitely a Grand piano that would satisfy advanced players, requiring a high quality instrument, equally it would make a wonderful starter piano.
Overall this is a very high quality piano for the price. Yamahas are sometimes criticised for their brightness, but there is no stridency here; what you do get are clear, full bodied tones that make for a very satisfying playing experience. If you are currently looking for a Grand piano this is well worth including on any ‘to try’ list. It is currently available in our showroom where you will be able to play it, for comparison, alongside a good selection of other Grand pianos.
Yamaha have been building pianos since 1887 and are renowned throughout the world for their sought after pianos. We have every confidence in the Yamahas we stock and all our Yamaha pianos include a 5 year guarantee.
