A Genuine Japanese-Built Yamaha Grand Piano
Yamaha has been producing acoustic pianos in Japan for generations, and the G Series became particularly well known for offering genuine grand piano construction in a size that was practical for domestic environments.
The G1 is 158cm in depth, making it a compact grand piano that can work particularly well in domestic settings.
Despite its relatively modest size, it retains the fundamental advantages of a grand piano, including its grand action, horizontal soundboard and string layout.
The result is an instrument that offers much more than simply the appearance of a grand piano.
You get the playing response, dynamic control and musical character associated with an acoustic grand, while the compact dimensions make it considerably easier to accommodate in a living room, music room, studio or teaching environment.

Condition
This is a secondhand piano manufactured approximately 1991, so there are some signs of age and previous use.
There is a small mark on the left-hand side of the keyfall, which is worth mentioning for complete transparency. Aside from this, I think the piano presents very well overall and the polished mahogany cabinet gives it a particularly attractive traditional appearance.

It has been:

The most important thing with any secondhand acoustic piano is how it plays, and this Yamaha G1 has a responsive, well-balanced action and plays very well.

Yamaha G1 – Grand Piano Performance in a Compact Size
One of the great attractions of the Yamaha G1 is its size.
At 158cm in depth, it offers a genuine acoustic grand piano experience while being much more practical for domestic use than many larger grand pianos.
For someone moving up from an upright piano, the G1 can provide a significant change in the way the instrument responds under the fingers.
The horizontal grand piano action provides a different playing experience, while the longer strings and larger soundboard area compared with a typical upright can provide greater tonal depth and projection.
The G1 can work particularly well for:
- Experienced pianists
- Piano teachers
- Advancing students
- Families with a serious interest in piano
- Adult players returning to piano
- Home musicians
- Accompanists
- Players wanting to move from an upright to a grand
- Anyone wanting a compact acoustic grand for their home
Responsive and Well-Balanced Action
The action is one of the things I particularly like about this piano.
It has a nice responsive feel, allowing the player to control the instrument from softer, more delicate playing through to stronger passages.
A well-balanced piano action is important because it allows the pianist to concentrate on the music rather than fighting the instrument.
On this Yamaha G1, the action has been checked and regulated by our technicians, and the piano is currently playing at concert pitch.
Whether you are playing classical repertoire, popular music, jazz, accompaniment or simply enjoying the piano at home, the G1 gives you the control and expression expected from a proper acoustic grand.
Polished Mahogany Cabinet
The polished mahogany finish gives this Yamaha G1 a warm and traditional appearance.
Unlike a black grand, the mahogany cabinet has a natural warmth that can work particularly well in domestic interiors, especially where you want the piano to form part of the furniture rather than simply being a musical instrument.
The polished finish also highlights the traditional styling of the Yamaha G1.
With its grand piano profile, three pedals and substantial cabinet, it has a real presence without being overwhelmingly large.

Grand Piano Without the Huge Footprint
One of the biggest concerns people have when considering a grand piano is space.
A full-size grand can dominate a room, and larger instruments can simply be impractical in many homes.

At 158cm in depth and 149cm wide, it remains a proper acoustic grand piano but is compact enough to be considered for many living rooms, music rooms and domestic settings.
The overall height is 101cm with the lid down.
Of course, you should always measure your intended room and access route carefully before purchasing any grand piano.
