Serial number B2064187. This Yamaha Upright was manufactured in Japan. The casing is American walnut.
What a lovely thing! It never fails to amaze us how some people can have looked after an item to this extraordinary degree: not a mark on it, even on the more easily damaged parts like the top lid, corners and so on. This must have been a treasured piece.
This Console model Yamaha gives one the classic beauty of yesteryear with crafted details like the shaped music desk, cabriole legs also matched in the stool, but the reasons Yamaha has such a great reputation as a piano are also present in touch and tone and general enjoyable use.
The tone is on the mellower end, typical of an older and Japanese made Yamaha. The piano has 88 keys – with a medium to firm touch weight – and 3 pedals, the middle one is the celeste felt rail. Its dimensions are a height of 108 cm, a width of 144 cm and a depth of 61.5 cm.
The DE 684 Yamaha Upright Pianoforte with stool is currently hired out.
