1980 Yamaha C3 Grand Piano - Walnut Satin | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls

This exceptional 1980 Yamaha C3 grand piano delivers the bright, open sound and responsive touch that has made Yamaha a trusted name among professional pianists and educators. Recently restored by a PTG Registered Technician, this 6'1" grand offers outstanding performance quality perfect for serious students and professional performers. Currently available on consignment from a local piano teacher who has maintained this instrument with meticulous care.

Product Overview

The Yamaha C3 features a solid spruce soundboard with premium hardwood rim construction, finished in elegant walnut satin that showcases the natural wood grain beautifully. This medium grand's 6'1" size provides excellent tonal balance and projection while fitting comfortably in most home environments, studios, and teaching spaces.

Performance characteristics include Yamaha's renowned bright and articulate tone with excellent sustain and dynamic range across all registers. The action responds with precision to both delicate pianissimo passages and powerful fortissimo sections, making it equally suitable for classical repertoire, jazz performance, and contemporary music styles.

This instrument underwent comprehensive restoration in March 2021 by PTG Registered Technician Will Perkins, including complete action rebuilding with new hammers, shanks, flanges, knuckles, back checks, and key bushings, followed by full regulation. The result is an action that feels exceptional and performs like a much newer instrument.
