There are some manufacturers that produce pianos as inexpensively as they can so that they can then sell them for less than the competitors, but the problem with this is that this results in a inferior piano that doesn’t play well, delivers poor tone. Removing any component from a Yamaha, and comparing it to that of the same component from a lesser quality piano, the contrast in quality is very evident, and in Yamaha’s favor. This is rarely the case with other manufacturers, and the contrast of materials used in other makers construction is visual. When I am refurbishing a Yamaha piano, everything just seems to fall into place.Īll of the internal components take adjustment very smoothly and accurately, the finishes always buff out to look brand new, and they are one of the clearest pianos to tune. There have been hundreds of piano makers that have gone in and out of production over the last 100 years and I have seen or worked on a vast majority of them.įew piano brands I have encountered have stacked up the quality of a Yamaha. This notion of Japanese craftsmanship is nowhere better represented than with Yamaha pianos.Īt this point in my career, I have torn down and rebuilt or refurbished over a thousand pianos. The result of this effort results in products of superior quality. Japanese craftsmanship is often depicted as an artform, practiced with heart and extreme discipline. When playing a Yamaha piano, it is clear that Yamaha is one of those great piano manufacturers. Lacking a tone of substance and an underperforming keytouch can be very frustrating to the aspiring piano player. Great pianos can provide the player an experience of joy and inspiration, poorly made or poorly designed pianos can leave the experience a little underwhelming. What is not subjective however, are the millions of piano players who love the feel and tone of Yamaha pianos.Įvery piano manufacturer produces instruments that are unique in the way that they sound and feel.
What makes a piano great I suppose, is a subjective opinion.
