Tomorrow I am going to see a slightly old Yamaha G2, a '74.
Who can give me some advice? What should I check? I believe it has been played little (so I was told); the hammer felts seem to have no grooves. The keyboard is white on top, none of the key fronts are yellowed, is that normal?
I was already looking at some, they are very well made. But why is the keyboard "two-colored"? White on top, and instead it's yellow on the front panels.
..if the piano is not new!!!! but it doesn't matter much. Please post these requests in the appropriate sections of the Forum, though. Let me know. The G series is a little less "excellent" than the C series. C3 and C5 are excellent
If only I could buy back the C3.. I sold it off for a pittance in 2008.. I won't even tell you, it's a long and sad story. A motorcycle accident significantly limited my use of my left hand 3 years after graduating from the Conservatory.. I was 26 years old.. today I am 46 and I have finally finished processing the "mourning".. it took me a full 20 years.
Thank you for your videos, they have clarified a bit what I need to check.
I hope that the G2 will give me some satisfaction nonetheless for the little I will be able to do. 20 years of inactivity and a handicapped hand is no small matter.
Out of curiosity, where is this piano located? If it's in the Canavese area near Cirié, I've seen it too. But I gave up mainly because living in an attic means I don't have space, and anyway without a silent system, it would have become a problem with the neighbors. And it would have been a significant expense that would surely be excessive for a beginner.
That piano is located in Ivrea, very close to Ivrea. But I didn't take it from him, I didn't like him as a person. and the piano was not in good condition.
