If you are looking for a Big piano but not a Big price this piano may be the answer!

If you are familiar with Yamaha's very elite "S"series then you are aware that they are Yamaha's very best "Hand Built" grand pianos. Being at the extreme high end of the piano price range they are rarely seen or available on the pre-owned market. Yamaha has 3 models currently in production, the S4 6'4" the S6 6'11"and the CFIII 9'. Previously offered was the CS or Semi Concert Grand this piano is identical to the CF or Full Concert Grand but only a little shorter at 8'3"rather than 9'. "S" series Yamaha Grand pianos are hand built in a separate facility off the assembly line where the more common and less expensive "C" series are built. They are constructed entirely different only sharing action components and brass hardware. Their cases contain only finest woods including the rim which is made with maple. Maple is an extremely hard and dense wood much better suited for sound projection and sustain. The more common "C" series are built with rims made of mahogany a much softer wood resulting in less resonance and projection. The construction of this piano is a lesson in extreme piano manufacturing resulting in a piano thats built to last several lifetimes without tone degradation. What this piano will give you is the performance of a 9' in a smaller more manageable package. Rather than go on and on here, research the Yamaha "S"series on Yamaha's website and you'll see why the piano stands apart from the rest. Currently the S6 retails for approximately $65k and the CFIII at $100k if this piano was still in production today it would probably be priced closer to the CFIII at around $85k to $90k

This particular piano was originally built in the Mid 1970's. It was privately owned as the cabinet is in it's original Yamaha finish. Normally a piano like this would be used in a commercial application resulting in abuse and neglect, this piano is the exception. Although the piano was manufactured in the mid 1970's this does not mean the piano is not capable of the performance you would expect from a Yamaha Concert Grand. The materials that were used in building this piano are of the quality required to have it last 75 to 100 years. The action is same as is installed in todays Yamaha's. Recently this piano has had new strings, pins, pin bushings, felts, dampers and a full regulation. All parts are original and still perform to factory spec. Keys are authentic ivory one piece, meaning that there is no seam in the middle of the white keys as you see in Steinways. These are the highest quality ivories that were available. The sharps are also solid Ebony. Please take your time to see the pictures as you will see the piano is in immaculate condition making this instrument the greatest piano value currently offered on Ebay!
