About Yamaha Pianos

Yamaha

Yamaha is the default choice for a reason. Consistent build quality, reliable action, and a global network of technicians who know these instruments inside and out. If you want to minimize risk and maximize consistency, Yamaha delivers.

Why Yamaha Became the Standard

Torakusu Yamaha built Japan's first upright piano in 1900. By the mid-1960s, Yamaha was the world's largest piano manufacturer. That didn't happen by accident.

Yamaha owns its own frame-casting facilities, builds its own actions, selects its own soundboard wood. This vertical integration means they control quality at every step-and it shows. Two Yamaha U1s built ten years apart will feel and sound remarkably similar. That consistency is rare in the piano world.

The result: schools, studios, and conservatories around the world default to Yamaha because they know exactly what they're getting.

THINKING ABOUT BUYING? That's normal.

Most people researching pianos plan to buy. The smart move? Rent first, decide later. The right piano reveals itself after weeks of playing-not from a spec sheet.

What Makes Yamaha a Great Rental?

Consistency. Yamaha's quality control is legendary-you're not gambling on whether you got a good one. Every Yamaha in our fleet plays the way you'd expect a Yamaha to play.

Durability. These instruments hold up to decades of daily use. That's why we invest in them-and why you can rent with confidence knowing it won't fall apart on you.

Serviceability. Technicians everywhere know Yamaha. Parts are available. If anything needs attention, we handle it. You just play.

No resale headache. Yamahas hold their value-but you'll never have to deal with selling one. When you're done, we pick it up. No Craigslist, no lowballers, no 500-pound problem in your living room.

PLAYED IN PIANOS - Why "Previously Rented" Is a Feature

New pianos are stiff. They can need up to 4 tunings in the first year just to settle. That's why professional musicians prefer played-in instruments-a piano develops its character over time. You wouldn't run a marathon in brand new shoes. Our rentals are already played in and arrive at your home ready for practice.

THE YAMAHA PRODUCT FAMILY

Yamaha Upright Pianos

Yamaha 43" Continental Console

Good for smaller spaces or lighter touch preferences. Built in Japan in the 1950s and 60s at Yamaha's legendary factory. They stopped making this model in Japan decades ago-the current equivalent is made in China. Compact footprint, classic Yamaha tone.

VIEW YAMAHA CONSOLE

Yamaha U1 (48")

The world's most popular piano! Balanced tone, responsive action, clear projection. A favorite of teachers, students, and professionals worldwide, more than a beginner needs, but this piano grows with you.

VIEW YAMAHA U1 UPRIGHT

Yamaha U3 (52")

Recommended for advanced players only. Longer strings, bigger hammers, larger soundboard-fuller bass and more volume. Upright convenience with near-grand presence. VIEW YAMAHA U# UPRIGHT

Some uprights are available with silent systems. The U1 Silent and the U3 Silent offer real acoustic piano feel with headphone practice capability.

We rent refurbished Yamaha uprights. These are Japanese-built instruments from the 1970s and 80s, when Yamaha used Alaskan Sitka Spruce for soundboards-widely regarded by technicians as some of Yamaha's best production-era materials. Professionally restored, maintained to our standards, and with the same warranty as our new pianos.

THE YAMAHA PRODUCT FAMILY

Yamaha Classic 5'3" Grand

We don't rent these larger grands with Silent Systems installed, but we can retrofit one if you already own a grand or decide to purchase.

WHY OUR PIANOS LAST

We're a rental company. We buy pianos we want to own forever-so our grandkids can rent them to your grandkids. You can purchase if you want, but that's not our goal. We just want you to play it, love it, and send it back when you're done so we can find a new home for it. That's why we only buy quality instruments that will last forever.

Why Yamaha Makes a Great Rental

Yamaha's reputation means high purchase prices. Rental changes the math.

Get a Yamaha without the commitment.

Used pianos on the private market cost less-but you don't know where they've been or what problems you're inheriting. Rental gives you the best of both worlds: an affordable monthly payment, a piano we've maintained from day one, and no risk of buying a lemon. If you fall in love, buy later-100% of your first year's payments apply toward purchase.

Try before you commit. You've heard Yamahas are great-but is it the right piano for you? Rent one, live with it, find out.

100% first-year credit toward purchase. If you decide you can't live without your Yamaha, apply your first year's rental payments toward buying it-or any other piano in our inventory of equal or greater value.

Swap if your needs change. Start with a U1, move to a U3, or switch to a grand. Add a silent system. Or try a different brand entirely. Rental gives you flexibility that buying doesn't.

We've been renting Yamahas since 1975. Full warranty, professional maintenance, honest guidance.
