What we think:
Yamaha C3 grand piano is first made in 1979. The first models cost about 5% less than the equivalent G series, and later were generally the same price. There were slight changes in construction but a C3 made in the same year as a G3 is very similar indeeed.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Unfortunately, as we have said above, not all models of Yamaha are good pianos. When we come across one we think you should definitely avoid, we will try to list it here. To start this list, we recommend you steer clear of the very common secondhand Yamaha E108 made from about 1985 to 2003. While there are some that are well made, most we’ve come across are quite deficient in tone.
