Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Hyundai piano a good instrument?

Hyundai produced acoustic pianos during the 1980s and 1990s to a reliable standard, drawing on South Korea's well-established manufacturing base during this period. The U835 is a full-sized instrument with a consistent action and a balanced tone, well suited to home use and practice. It is not in the same league as a Yamaha U Series or a Kawai professional upright, but it is a solid, honest instrument at its price point.

Is this a good piano for a beginner?

Yes. The Hyundai U835 is a full-sized acoustic upright with an 88-note keyboard and a properly weighted action, which is exactly what a beginner needs to develop correct touch and technique. At £3,395 it offers good value as a first piano, and because it is a full-sized instrument, there is no need to upgrade the keyboard as a player progresses through their early grades.

How does a Hyundai upright compare to a Yamaha or Kawai?

A Yamaha U Series or Kawai professional upright from the same era will typically offer a more refined action, better tonal character, and a stronger resale value. The Hyundai is a more modest instrument, honestly priced to reflect that. For a player whose priority is a working acoustic piano at an accessible price, it is a perfectly reasonable choice. For a player who wants the best instrument their budget will allow, we would always recommend viewing the Yamaha and Kawai options in our showroom as well.

Has this piano been checked by a technician?

Yes. This instrument has been assessed and prepared by our team at The Piano Gallery and is ready to play. We are happy to provide further details about the condition of the piano before purchase. A visit to our Oxfordshire showroom is always welcome if you would like to try it in person.

How long will a Hyundai U835 last?

A well-maintained Hyundai upright from the 1990s should give many years of reliable service with regular tuning and sensible placement. These are not instruments built for a lifetime of heavy professional use, but for home practice and everyday playing they are dependable and durable enough to serve a family well for many years.
