Yamaha Piano Differences

Yamaha piano offers up some first class products and models for not only professionals but beginners as well.  Many people don’t really know the differences from one model to another so to make it a bit easier for you, we’ve tried to explain the various models with explanations of what features they each contain.  Also, we’ve included a handy chart to help you decide which model might work best for you.  There’s much more information available on the Yamaha website but for starters read our overview at yamaha piano.

Why Yamaha Upright Pianos?

Its no secret that one of the best upright pianos are those made by Yamaha.

Since 1887, Yamaha Corporation in Japan (then Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd.) has been producing quality pianos and has grown to become the world’s largest manufacturer of a full line of musical instruments including digital electric pianos and grand pianos.

Yamaha owns numerous subsidiaries and affiliates in overseas markets in addition to a number of related companies in Japan.

Established in 1960, the Yamaha Corporation of America (YCA), then Yamaha International Corporation, offers a full line of musical instruments and audio/visual products to the U.S. market. YCA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation, Japan, and is the largest of all global subsidiary companies.

Yamaha’s very basic corporate objective is reflected in everything that it does, which is to contribute to the enrichment of the quality of lives for people around the world.

Modern Types of Piano

There are two basic types of modern piano.  The grand piano and the upright piano.  There are different models in each of these two categories depending on what you’re looking for but the basics remain the same.  These, of course, do not include the electric or digital piano which can emulate both versions in many aspects.  To keep it within our scope of explanation we will only discuss the modern piano in the traditional wooden sense.

Please visit our page on piano for an in depth explanation of the differences in these two important models.

Advantages Of Digital Pianos

There’s been a lot of hoopla about the differences between digital pianos and the traditional wooden models ever since electronics came into being.  In order to put a bit of a clearer picture the the minds of those who care, you might want to check out our article on just that.

There are still some advantages to the old wooden models but they are few and far between.  Especially since you can get so many different versions of piano in a digital piano, including one that could easily be mistaken for the good old wooden version.  Granted all the manufacturers are not the same and depending on what features you are looking for you may not find in one brand what you might find in another.

cheers for now,

enjoy!
