Previous owner (UK based) sent us this comment as they are preparing to travel abroad

I’ve moved over to Australia two years since and am trying to work out if it’s worth shipping my piano over or if I should sadly just sell it. It’s a Yamaha G5. It was a prototype for the disklavier and I have all the original kit, although I haven’t used it in years! The instrument is in great shape and has been taken care of over the years with regularly tunings and maintenance. (John Tordoff looked after it for me). It’s in good shape and it’s one of the nicest pianos I’ve played outside of proper concert venues, which is why I’m reticent to sell. On the other hand, it’s currently just sat not being used and who knows what will happen to it shipping it across the world!

We now have this piano here in our piano shop and we are taking it through our normal workshop reconditioning process to get it back to its prime condition both musically and cosmetically.

The Disklavier (self-playing system) is tested and working and currently has a very large controller unit that you can see in the photos. We can add a tiny little USB gadget that my friend, Andy, makes here in the UK to control the Disklavier system from an Android tablet instead (included in this price). I’ve bought one from him before for an upright disklavier to bypass the old original integrated floppy disk system and instead run the piano from an Android tablet including all the usual functions (playback, record, etc). However, it does not bypass the large controller unit that has to be plugged into this piano, so to maintain the disklavier function you have to accept that there will be a large controller unit plugged in nearby.

My working assumption is that we will remove the disklavier system and sell this piano as a standard acoustic piano.

Any questions, please ask
thanks

What is the Yamaha G5?

The G5 is one of the larger Yamaha grands, with longer strings that give a deeper, more powerful tone. It suits a bigger room and a player who wants something closer to a concert-grand sound. Good used examples come up rarely.
