Yamaha Upright Piano - C109

Seasoned for Destination

A piano specifically seasoned for the Canadian market. The tuning stability, finish and overall musical integrity are enhanced over the long life expected of a fine piano.

Permanent Crown Laminated Soundboard

Yamaha utilizes a process that creates a permanent crown in the soundboard and at the same time minimizes soundboard cracking. The customer can feel confident that not only will the piano last for years, but the beautiful sound of a Yamaha piano will last a lifetime.

Yamaha designed and manufactured Laminated Soundboard

Benefits: Durability, reliability and exceptional musical performance and value due to Yamaha's advanced wood manufacturing processes and laminating technologies. This design has been tested in Canada for reliability in low humidity climates.

Full length ribs

Yamaha reinforces the crown in its soundboards by using ribs that continue to the edge of the soundboard, and are glued into the notched liner (or inner rim on the grand piano). Reinforcing the crown ensures that the tone quality will remain for years and years and improves tuning stability.

Extruded Aluminum Action Rails

Yamaha engineering developed a unique Extruded Aluminum Alloy Action Rail (bearing a Yamaha patent). This is one of the best innovations for improving a piano action in the last 100 years. The usual fluctuations in wood rails that effect touch, caused by periodic weather changes, are eliminated allowing stable, long-lasting action regulation.

Balanced Action

Each key of a Yamaha piano is individually tested and measured for the corrections needed to obtain uniform "down weight"/ pressure. Yamaha actions play correctly and uniformly. This balancing helps ensure a lifetime of superior touch and control across the keyboard.

Uniform Key Travel

Yamaha designs all grand and vertical pianos to have the same key travel. Regardless of size, type or model of Yamaha piano, the keyboards will always feel the same.

Spruce Keys

Yamaha uses Spruce for the keys on all models of pianos. Spruce is very light and possesses a very high ratio of strength to weight. It is ideal for key construction, even though its cost is greater than either sugar pine or bass wood. Yamaha keyboards respond quickly-providing fast repitition for the most intricate piece of music. Yamaha keyboards withstand heavy use over years of fortissimo passages.
