Now this is something special!
Yamaha pianos are probably the most recognised and trusted name in pianos in our market. We love dealing in them but… would not personally buy one as we just find them a little too generic and lacking in character. We love the sound of the good old German pianos as that huge, deep tone is incomparable to just about anything else, but the very few U3 Yamahas we have had have made us consider them in the same light.
This could have – arguably – have been the very best upright pianos for sale on the local market during 2022. This model is exceedingly scarce, and we are led to believe are unavailable locally unless by special order. The cost then would seemingly be beyond the R 300 000.00 level. We probably had our last one in stock around 2018…
The condition is completely original and comparable to new. It is surprising that a piano of this standard was seemingly unused after purchase. The hammers were barely dented. The tuning – when we received it – was horrendous and unplayable in that state, leading us to wonder if it was ever even tuned after purchase.
The piano has 88 keys – with a medium to heavier touch weight – and 3 pedals. It has a full rich tone. The dimensions are a height of 130 cm, a width of 153 cm and a depth of 64.5 cm.
The DE 773 Yamaha Upright and stool was sold in May 2022.
