Yamaha G1 (Ebony Polish)

At Little Valley Piano Service, we believe every pianist deserves to practice on a truly inspiring piano.  Most buyers are fearful about selecting a piano with unseen problems.  As a piano service business, we began selling “Fully-Serviced Used Pianos” so that you can confidently select a fine piano and enjoy it worry-free for years to come.

A Japanese-made, professionally reconditioned baby grand piano

The Yamaha G1 enjoys a solid reputation as a reliable, well-built baby grand piano. Although its compact size means shorter bass strings compared to larger grands or even tall uprights, the G1 is praised for its warm, vibrant tone, superior craftsmanship, and characteristic Yamaha brightness and clarity. For those who want a genuine Yamaha baby grand at an accessible price point and have limited space, the G1 represents excellent value—especially when well-maintained examples can be found.

This reconditioned 1985 Yamaha G1 delivers authentic Japanese craftsmanship at an exceptional value. Built at Yamaha’s renowned Hamamatsu factory during the original G1 production era, this 5’3″ grand has been professionally reconditioned to excellent playing condition. Musically, this G1 offers the characteristic Yamaha clarity and responsiveness that has long made these pianos favorites of students and teachers alike. The ebony polish finish shows honest wear consistent with a well-loved 40-year-old instrument, but remains in good overall condition. This piano would be great for any piano student or serious pianist, as well as schools, church choir rooms, or other institutional settings.

This piano’s recent reconditioning (by our technicians) and additional maintenance completed at our West Rutland showroom include:

• Light cleaning
• Key bushings replaced
• Key pins and capstans polished and lubricated
• Hammers reshaped and voiced
• Action regulated
