What Yamaha say
“Incorporating the exceptional design concept of Yamaha’s coveted C Series, the beautiful GB1 produces a broad dynamic range with a superb sound. Now, thanks to cost-saving advantages and substantial refinements in materials and production, this expressive and uncommonly affordable instrument is better than ever.”
What we think
We don’t often stock Yamaha’s lower range of pianos. This is the cheapest Yamaha baby grand. Made in Indonesia. This is the only Yamaha grand piano that has a fixed music desk which cannot be slid forward and backwards. Practically all other makes of grand piano have a sliding desk, which is extremely useful if you need to adjust to see the music clearly. Most musicians use this facility. You may find it a disadvantage not being able to do so.
