HISTORY AND HERITAGE

With over a century of artisanal craftsmanship, Yamaha’s manufacture has earned the trust of the world’s leading concert artists, conservatories, and music lovers. The GB1 model encapsulates the brand’s expertise: rich and balanced sound projection, exceptionally precise action, and remarkable tuning stability, all in a perfectly proportioned “Baby Grand” format.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION

FURNITURE & AESTHETICS

The high-gloss black finish offers a splendid mirror effect with no cracks or major blemishes. The cabinet has benefited from very careful maintenance in a controlled environment.

HARMONIC & MECHANICAL STRUCTURE

The soundboard is solid spruce, selected for perfect grain and optimal resonance. The cast iron frame, tuning pins, pinblock, and strings are in impeccable condition, free from any oxidation traces.

KEYBOARD & HAMMERS

The touch is precise, smooth, and responsive. The hammer felts are in pristine condition, delivering a warm, clear, and nuanced tone across the full range (from deep bass to crystal treble).

PEDAL SYSTEM

Equipped with a three-pedal lyre (including the sostenuto/feathered support pedal depending on the original configuration) in perfect working order.

A ready-to-play instrument, ideal for a demanding pianist as well as a collector seeking a centerpiece with undeniable acoustic and visual charm.

TRANSPORT AND PROTECTION

The delivery of this instrument follows a stringent protocol. To prevent any impact during transit, each component is packed separately with high-density reinforced protection. Some parts may be disassembled if necessary to strengthen the package’s overall structure.

The custom packaging takes into account the piano’s specific dimensions. Special care is given to securing sensitive elements: internal mechanics, frame, casters, and original parts.

Delivery includes a real-time tracking number to monitor the journey at any time. All logistics are designed to ensure flawless reception, faithful to the description in the listing.
