Where it sits
Its price class holds 10 acoustic upright pianos between €4,200 and €11,750 (EU street prices) – the Yamaha b3 sits in the middle there. The Yamaha b2 from the same brand sits around €650 below it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Kawai K-300 and Kawai K-200.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- 88 weighted keys with hammer action – the fingers learn the right force from day one
- Wooden keys instead of plastic – closer to an acoustic piano
- Three pedals (damper, sostenuto, soft) are included
- 121 cm tall – larger soundboard, fuller tone than the b1/b2
Against it
- Needs tuning once or twice a year – running costs a digital piano does not have
