Yamaha G5 c.1980

Colour: Black polyester
Year: 1980

The Yamaha G5 is a large grand piano from Yamaha’s well regarded G Series, produced during the late 20th century and respected for its solid construction and consistent musical performance. Measuring approximately 200 cm in length, equivalent to 6'7", the G5 sits towards the upper end of Yamaha’s traditional grand piano range. This size allows for greater tonal depth, power, and projection than smaller domestic grands while remaining suitable for private homes, teaching studios, and smaller performance spaces.

Examples dating from around 1980 benefit from Yamaha’s established manufacturing techniques of the period, including a high quality spruce soundboard and a durable, well regulated action designed for long term reliability. The tonal character is typically clear and even across the keyboard, with a strong, controlled bass and a focused treble that supports a wide range of repertoire. The action is responsive and predictable, offering accurate control for advanced players while remaining dependable for regular practice use.

Overall, the Yamaha G5 is valued as a dependable acoustic grand piano that offers the scale and presence of a larger instrument combined with Yamaha’s reputation for consistency and longevity. It remains a popular choice for pianists seeking a full sized Japanese grand from a respected production era.
