Summary: As far as I know, every single Yamaha U3 piano that has ever been made has come directly from the premium quality Yamaha factory in Hamamatsu, towards the South West region of Japan. I believe even the brand new Yamaha U3 pianos are still being made in this same factory. So as long as you can find a professionally reconditioned U3 then you can be sure of getting a top quality piano.Hi
Can someone tell me whether all yamaha u3 made and assemble all in japan only?

U3 is about 10K onwards (do not have the actual figure, you may want to just pop by a Yamaha shop (e.g. Plaza Singapore) to do a quick check).Thanks wrkf

For a used U3, you are probably looking at 3.5-5K. -
Today we bought another piano to upgrade, as my girls are now taking grade 5.
I am now looking to sell my pre-loved piano.
We had it since 2005, and bought it second-hand. It is not one with famous brand, and I understood that it was already 10+ years old when we bought it. We were told that it was made in a factory in Hong Kong.
The piano is 131cm tall, and is still in excellent condition. We had it tuned regularly, and last tuning was 2 weeks ago. My girls practised on it every week. In fact, after we bought our piano today, they came back and played on our old piano again - seemed unwilling to part with it. Piano should be good for beginners.
PM me if you are interested. -

Those pianos should be cheaper. Showroom pieces would have been subjected to demos by sales persons and potential buyers. If you don't mind these, then should be ok. These pieces would be better then used pianos, i guess. -
I was shown a 30+ piano recently, recondition. inside is very new and the dealer claims imported from Japan. how much can I trust them.

I suspect more than that. Their promotions already offer that sort of discount
