Yamaha M108 mid 1988

A highly sought after compact Yamaha M108 upright piano. This instrument is regarded as the definitive Yamaha console. The touch and tone of the instrument is virtually unsurpassed by other consoles. This piano is made in the Yamaha factory in Hamamatsu, Japan in mid 1988 according to the serial number: 4418958, and should not be confused with the English made Yamaha M108N. The frame is stamped “MADE IN JAPAN” and as such the materials used in terms of the soundboard and action are that of the U series range. The instrument stands at 108cm as the model number suggests and features Yamaha's bell like tone and a forgiving touch to suit all pianists. The M108 is the perfect home piano both in terms of the sleek lines and gloss black finish (which is virtually unmarked), and the obvious quality of the instrument. Yamaha no longer make consoles anywhere in the world so the value of the M series is on its way up!

Kemble Yamaha Cambridge 1997

Here we have a Kemble Cambridge studio in light oak, serial# 271478 dating the instrument from 1997. This Kemble is one made under Kemble’s administration by YAMAHA pianos. One will see many adverts for Kemble pianos that try to use the Yamaha association in order to make a sale. The fact is that most of them simply have nothing to do with Yamaha whatsoever as the Japanese company only had an association with the Kemble Company from 1986 and then only really started to manufacture pianos under the Kemble name from the early nineties. This one however is a YAMAHA Kemble and the tell-tale signs are apparent. The Kemble sticker on the action is in exactly the same place as the Yamaha placement of their sticker, the bolt down fall board which is an exclusive Yamaha feature is present and the font used for the serial number is that of Yamaha. If that’s not enough just to play and listen to the instrument is sufficient to make one realise that this is a piano made by a manufacturer who knows what they’re doing. Simply must be played and heard.

The case has slight mottling due to a lacey tablecloth or throw covering it whilst near a source of sunlight and this is reflected in the price.

The model features the imperial German scale design, german hammer felt, Roslau strings with a warm, even tone. The compact size is suitable for beginners to intermediate players.

Pianos of note

I usually stock two or three high-end instruments or instruments of some age that still have an awful lot to offer. All these pianos will please the most demanding of pianists. As with all of my pianos, they are tuned, serviced, and prepared to the highest standard.

Blüthner are the very pinnacle of piano making producing the finest instruments made by the highest skilled craftsman. This model M has the Serial# 147620 dating it to 1987.

Throughout the company’s history, Bluthner have been famous for their brand-specific characteristics that empower players to express themselves freely. This Bluthner model M is one of the best studio sized upright pianos ever produced. Although relatively compact there is no compromise on tonal quality or volume and this model of Blüthner will satisfy the most discerning of pianists. It is powerful yet can be played delicately; the touch is responsive, accurate, and immediate. The piano tonal registers are distinct and sublime, the piano bass is deep and resonant, the middle meets this with clarity and durability, and the treble tops this off with distinction and resilience.

Schimmel are a German piano maker of distinction, making grands and uprights, still in production. Very nice pianos, very well made with Renner actions and high-quality sound boards.

The piano is perfect for any demanding pianist. A beautiful sound accompanied by a precise touch thanks to its action make this model an instrument of the highest quality.
