Steinway Model B vs Yamaha C7
If you want a large grand and are weighing a Steinway Model B against a Yamaha C7, here is an honest comparison. We sell reconditioned Yamaha, so allow for our leaning, but the facts are the facts.
Size
The Steinway B is just under 7 feet. The Yamaha C7 is 7 feet 6, a little larger, and a popular choice for studios and teaching rooms that want a big sound.
Tone
The B has the richer, more complex, more prized voice. The C7 is bright, powerful and even, and records superbly, which is why so many studios use it. In a large room both fill the space with ease.
Price
The gap is enormous. A reconditioned Yamaha C7 costs a small fraction of a used or restored Steinway B. For the price of one Model B you could buy several C7s.
