Kemble Piano Prices

Kembles are no longer made, so every one on the market is used, which keeps prices sensible. Here is an honest guide to what to expect.

Rough figures

A good used Kemble upright typically sells for less than the equivalent reconditioned Japanese Yamaha, often a fair bit less, simply because the Kemble name is less famous. That is exactly what makes them good value. Prices vary with the model, the age, whether it is a Yamaha-era piano, and above all the condition.

What sets the price

  1. The model, such as a Classic, Oxford or Cambridge, and its height.
  2. Whether it is a Yamaha-era piano, built after 1988 with Yamaha parts.
  3. The condition, which matters more than anything, since these are all used now.

How to judge a fair price

Because condition varies so much on a used piano, the safest course is to have one seen by a technician, and to compare against a reconditioned Yamaha of similar money. Our buying guide explains what to check, and we are happy to give you an honest view. See Yamaha pianos for sale to compare.
