Hi ๐Ÿ™‚

I found this opportunity: a Yamaha G3 grand piano. The owner told me that the piano is 10 years old and was only used by a conservatory teacher because it was located in a restaurant, and it is in excellent condition, and now he is selling it due to a change in management etc...

Obviously I will try it out, but I would like to know some info about this model and do you think 10 years is too much?

Thanks

observe the condition of the strings. And the condition of the hammers. Then the keyboard action. The condition of the soundboard.

Thank you Paolo, I will keep that in mind along with your very useful video tutorial ... ๐Ÿ™‚

If I may ask you, what do you think of it as a piano brand?

Yamahas are very varied. The G series is good, but not like the C series. The S series, as the original says, is special. In fact, the prices change.
