Yamaha C3 Acoustic Grand Piano Black 1981 #3290702
The Yamaha C3 is one of the most well-known and widely respected grand pianos ever produced. Measuring approximately 186cm in length, it offers a powerful, rich tone and excellent projection while still being suitable for homes, teaching studios, and performance spaces. The C3 has long been a favourite among professional pianists, conservatories, recording studios, and educators for its outstanding balance of tonal depth, clarity, and responsive touch.
Built in 1981 by Yamaha in Japan, this piano comes from the highly regarded C-Series line, designed to deliver a more advanced musical performance than Yamaha’s G-Series grands. The longer strings and larger soundboard provide a fuller bass response, wider dynamic range, and greater tonal complexity.
