Hello fellow piano lovers, and welcome to our piano auction. Please see our other items as we are selling several Yamaha U1 pianos at the moment, all for £1 No Reserve. I’m not allowed to share our contact details here but we are easy to find on Google if you search for “Mark Goodwin Pianos”.

ABOUT US
My name is Mark Goodwin and I’ve been running Mark Goodwin Pianos Ltd for over 20 years now. We’ve sold thousands of Yamaha pianos to happy customers all over the UK. Please find our website on Google and also find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube. We have showrooms in Greater Manchester and central London.

ABOUT THIS PIANO
You are bidding on a professionally reconditioned Yamaha U1 upright piano, made in Japan in 1972. The serial number starts with 1471xxx as you can see from the photos. If you want the full serial number please ask. This piano is for sale in our showroom for £4090. It has new loop cords, new bridle tapes, new practise pedal felt, new everything necessary to get this piano back to showroom condition inside and out. We have a large workshop and spray booth here in our showroom so that we can guarantee the very highest standards.

WARRANTY
We will include a warranty if the bidding goes high enough. Scroll down for more information.

REASON FOR SALE
We are one of the UK’s leading importers of Yamaha pianos from Japan and we buy in bulk. At the moment, our warehouse is full and there is another order of 32 pianos arriving in October so we are auctioning a handful of pianos to clear some space and raise some cash to pay for the next order.

MAKE AN OFFER
I ticked a box that should allow you to make an offer. If we receive a good enough offer we may consider accepting the offer and ending the auction early. Please feel free to make an offer using the eBay option but remember that you’ll be required to make the payment in full within 24 hours.

VIDEO ATTACHED
There should be a video in the photo gallery showing this exact piano. It is not a stock video, it is a specific video that we made of this piano.
