About Our Piano

Our Yamaha C7 (7' 6") concert grand piano is crafted with uncommon care and integrity. Yamaha grand pianos have defined a singular standard of excellence. 

The Yamaha C Series represents a fundamental restructuring of the grand piano line. The C7 boasts improved tone, touch and appearance.  The solid soundboard is shaped from clear, fine-grained timber and is permanently crowned and reinforced. The bridge is crafted from select hardwood, precisely notched, pinned and fitted. Our C7 has direct bass bridges, improving lower-register performance.

Strings are produced from special steel wire and pure copper windings, then strung to lathe-cut tuning pins in a laminated hardwood pinblock for tuning stability. 

Hammers are formed from premium felt, bonded and T-fastened to hardwood heads and shanks.  Beautifully finished V-Pro iron plates carry the string tension, and a metal tone collector connects back posts and plate, reflecting sound back through the case for a fuller, sustained resonance.

Our piano features a black satin finish. The padded leather concert bench is adjustable to enable people of differing statures to play the instrument with correct posture. The instrument is mounted on a heavy-duty dolly, which allows it to be moved around the chancel area to meet varying musical needs.
