YAMAHA M5J Solid Spruce Soundboard & Veneer Cabinet 88 Key Upright PianoExcellent Condition considering its age!We bought this from a Piano Shop in Manchester for £2100 a few years ago (It was advertised at £2500 but we managed to get a good deal on it) as it was in just flawless condition. It had one owner previously before me and the lady looked after it since the beginning so I didn't mind paying a lot of money for it as it was and still is just wonderful to play. The Serial No. is D3425335 which dates its age back to 1981 but I was told that the vast majority of it's time it wasn't used at all and mainly sat as a furniture in the living room. Please have a look at the felts and the condition of the hammers and everything because they have never been replaced and they are still to this date in perfect shape.The piano was made in the same JAPANESE Hamamatsu factory (unlike the newer B range model which were made from cheap wood in Indonesia) as their concert upright U1, U3 & C3 models and I can also personally assure you this is indeed a premium grade high quality piano with of course a slightly lower top. As a matter of fact that's why I bought this particular model in the first place because it was much smaller but still had a that huge lush sound that these Japanese Yamaha's known for!I'm a Music Producer and Jingle writer and the piano was used in many commercials on BBC, Channel 4 and Radio as well! I usually had it miced with a Manley Ref C Tube microphone which is essentially a Neumann U47 and I also use a pair of Neumann KM184s in a Stereo Pair. Although I'm far from a professional Piano player I can tell you this piano was really worth every penny as the quality is just phenomenal! You have the "Practice Pedal" built-in for the Middle Pedal on this piano as well so when you feel like practicing at the middle of the night you are sure you won't disturb the neighbours. It is worth mentioning that there are a couple of very-very tiny scratches from here and there and the piano is currently out of tune. I'd like to be as honest here as possible and not to leave any detail out but I truly believe that the winning bidder will be very happy with the purchase and will love it as much as I did. Unfortunately I cannot keep it anymore as I'm moving out and my new place won't allow such beauty on the top floor...Dimensions: Width 150 cm x Feel free to come contact me and schedule in viewing because I'd be more than happy to show you around the piano! :)Offers are welcome so get in touch!Pick-up ONLY from Stoke-on-Trent !
