Model   G5   6'6   in   excellent  playing  condition, tuned  to concert  pitch... no cracks  anywhere,  this piano  came  from a  home  and  was  not  used  much  at  all.Now you can own the grand piano you've always wanted, even if space and budget are limited. Uncommonly compact, this BABY GRAND is right at home in smaller rooms, while offering all the power, tonality and expressive range of a classic Yamaha grand. Best of all, this piano delivers Yamaha quality and performance at a surprisingly affordable price.

Yamaha utilizes a process that creates a permanent crown in the soundboard and at the same time minimizes soundboard cracking. The customer can feel confident that not only will the piano last for years, but the beautiful sound of a Yamaha piano will last a lifetime.

At the Yamaha lumber mill and wood processing facility the finest spruce is quarter sawn; and less than 10% of the total is selected and reserved for Yamaha piano soundboards. Solid spruce, rather than laminated spruce or poplar, is the choice in all fine pianos for the best amplification of sound, best tone and sustain.

Yamaha reinforces the crown in its soundboards by using ribs that continue to the edge of the soundboard, and are glued into the notched liner (or inner rim on the grand piano). Reinforcing the crown ensures that the tone quality will remain for years and years and improves tuning stability.

Yamaha uses V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) in casting the iron frame (plate). V-Pro plates are stronger and visually more appealing. Critical dimensions are produced more accurately.

Yamaha engineering developed a unique extruded Aluminum Alloy Action Rail (bearing a Yamaha patent) this is one of the best innovations for improving a piano action in the last 100 years. The usual fluctuations in wood rails that effect touch, caused by periodic weather changes are eliminated allowing stable, long-lasting action regulation.

Each key of a Yamaha piano is individually tested and measured for the corrections needed to obtain uniform "down weight" pressure. Yamaha actions play correctly and uniformly. This balancing helps ensure a lifetime of superior touch and control across the keyboard.

Yamaha designs all grand and vertical pianos to have the same key travel. Regardless of size, type, or model of Yamaha piano, the keyboards will always feel the same.

Yamaha uses Spruce for the keys on all models of pianos. Spruce is very light and possesses a very high ratio of strength to weight. It is ideal for key construction, even though its cost is greater than either sugar pine or bass wood. Yamaha keyboards respond quickly providing fast repetition for the most intricate piece of music. Yamaha keyboards withstand heavy use over years of fortissimo passages.
