Notes from Mark & Julie

We originally sold this piano back in 2014 but it is now back with us again as the customer has traded it in for this digital piano That means we are looking for a new home for this U3. The previous owner sent us this comment by email:

I purchased the piano nicely reconditioned and set up from yourself in 2014. Beautiful piano which I believe is 1985 and stays nicely in tune. It has to as I am professional musician – mainly sax and clarinet though. My situation has now changed and I need to purchase a digital Yamaha Clavinova. I attach a few pictures. This piano has only really had light use over the years and is a really reluctant parting for me.

Hopefully you agree that this piano has been well-cared for by a professional musician who only used it lightly as it wasn’t his main instrument.

Original tapes (off white but functionally perfect)
New loops
New practise felt
Hammers excellent
Dampers great
Strings great

The price shown here is because this piano has not yet been polished. Musically it is in great condition, it is just waiting to have its cabinet made perfect in our workshop. The price will rise by £1500 once the work is complete but you may buy at this lower price if you don’t mind that the cabinet is not in showroom condition. In this case I score the cabinet a 7/10 as there are some minor dents, some dried white paint to clear off and the Yamaha logo needs bringing back to a nice shine.
