Yamaha GB1K Grand Piano – c2009

This Yamaha GB1K baby grand piano dates from circa 2009 and is finished in the highly popular polished black cabinet. At just 151cm in length, the GB1K offers the proportions of a compact grand while retaining the tonal range and playing characteristics that make a grand piano so rewarding to own.

The piano has been fully serviced in our dedicated workshops. The action and keyboard have been carefully serviced and regulated to Yamaha specifications, ensuring an even, light and responsive touch across the keyboard. This gives the player excellent control at different dynamic levels and makes the piano equally comfortable for regular home practice and more expressive playing.

The cabinet has also been professionally burnished throughout, restoring the polished black finish and ensuring the piano is prepared to a high cosmetic standard.

Acoustically, this GB1K has been tuned and carefully voiced to achieve a rich, warm and even tonal balance across all registers. There is a pleasing brightness and sweetness to the upper register, while the voicing retains warmth through the middle and lower sections of the piano. The result is a well-balanced sound with enough tonal variety for the player to shape phrasing and dynamics with confidence.

Its compact dimensions make the Yamaha GB1K particularly suitable for homes where space is important, yet it still provides the touch, pedal control and tonal possibilities of a true grand piano. Yamaha itself describes the GB1K as combining a rich sound and responsive touch within a more compact grand-piano format.

At £8,495, this fully prepared Yamaha GB1K is an appealing choice for pianists looking for a compact grand with a light, well-regulated action and a warm, clear tonal character. To preserve the piano’s pristine finish, a protective film has been applied to selected areas of the piano to maintain its condition until delivery.
