Where it sits
Its price class holds 11 acoustic upright pianos between €4,200 and €12,500 (EU street prices) – the Yamaha P 116 sits in the upper third there. The Yamaha b3 from the same brand sits around €1,050 below it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Kawai K-300.
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
- Professional series above the b range (116 cm)
Against it
- Needs tuning once or twice a year – running costs a digital piano does not have
