Yamaha Grand Piano C1S

1. Superb clarity with warm and powerful tone is the sound quality I would describe for Yamaha C series. The C series has just the right combination of clarity (not too bright such as Bechstein), warmth (not too melo such as Blutner), and power (yet with great control unlike Bosendorfer). It is not Fazioli nor Steinway, but I would choose Yamaha over the other three B pianos because the very reasons that I described above. The C Series is the heart of the Yamaha grand piano line for a long time. It has long been a choice for many recognised professional pianists. They are made in Japan to the highest quality levels. Beautifully crafted to an every single detail, the C1 is an amazing instrument that gives you joy and happiness.

2. Silent Mechanism. This piano has a factory built-in silent mechanism (not an additional attachment after manufactured), therefore you can practice whenever you want to play without disturbing the rest of the family/neighbours.

3. Size. If you believe you have a space for a Baby Grand piano, you can fit C1 into your room. The size should not be the decision between C1 and other baby grands of typically 151-156cm depth.

Depth: 161 cm (5’3’’)
Height: 101cm
Width: 149cm
Weight: 287kg (638 lbs)

4. C1 Silent is HARD to find a second hand. RRP £17,000

I bought this beautiful piano used and have owned it for 12 months, it was a gift for my wife who has played most of her life. We are moving house due to family and it is regrettable that we are unable to accomodate it in our new home. The previous owner kept the piano in immaculate condition, even the piano movers described it as being in better condition than some new Yamaha grand pianos that they have delivered. The piano remains in perfect condition with no damage or defects at all. It would look right at home as new in a new Yamaha piano dealer.

The piano is located at my home in London, SE1. The winning bidder will need to arrange collection which costs from £150 upwards and cost depends on distance.
