When you’re starting out, a digital piano is a great choice because Yamaha packs the Clavinova with a number of amazing features, including apps to help you learn faster, digitally sampled sounds of the famed Yamaha CFX grand and the Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand pianos, and two headphone outputs for practicing without disturbing others. Prices start at $1,999.

Yamaha B Series

Chances are, when a teacher advises beginning students to get a ‘real piano,’ they’ll recommend the entry-level Yamaha b Series. While it’s Yamaha’s most affordable upright they cut no corners in the materials and workmanship. A highly responsive keyboard, clear tone, and rich full sound make the b Series a joy to practice on and to play for years to come. Available in three different sizes, the b Series are priced from $3,899.

Yamaha AvantGrand

With the same action used in Yamaha’s celebrated concert grand acoustic pianos, the stunningly beautiful AvantGrand series features outstanding power and playability combined with cutting-edge technology that replicates the natural vibration of an acoustic to give you a grand piano experience at any volume. AvantGrands are priced from $5,999.99

For beginners, it makes sense to rent until you’re ready to purchase the perfect piano for a lifetime of playing. We offer Yamaha and other pianos on a month-to-month basis starting at just $59 a month. You can choose from silent acoustic uprights that can be played using headphones to performance grand pianos, with every dollar from your rental applies to the purchase of any new or used piano we sell.
