⭕ Yamaha S700 Custom Built 76 Concert Grand Piano
If you are familiar with Yamahas very elite Sseries then you are aware that they are Yamahas very best Hand Built grand pianos. Being at the extreme high end of the piano price range they are rarely seen or available on the pre-owned market. Yamaha has 3 models currently in production, the S4 64 the S6 611and the CFIII 9. In the past there was also the CS (and CSII) which were very similar to the CFIII only a little shorter at 83 (we also have one in stock). Even more obscure is the limited edition Yamaha S700 76 which was in limited production for a short period of time. Today the piano can be ordered new and custom built by Yamaha.
Their cases contain only finest woods including the rim which is made with maple. Maple is an extremely hard and dense wood much better suited for sound projection and sustain. The more common C series are built with rims made of mahogany a much softer wood resulting in less resonance and projection. The entire scale design of the S700 as well as construction is a lesson in extreme piano manufacturing resulting in a piano thats built to last several lifetimes without tone degradation. Photographs of the interior and underside are the only way to explain the differences from the common C7. In playing the piano it will knock your socks off! I have never heard a bass roll out of a piano with the volume and sustain of this one except for the much larger CS and CF. What this piano will give you is the performance of a 9 in a smaller more manageable package.
