b SERIES
An upright for the next generation.
"As a piano tuner/technician owned store, one of the things we dread is servicing entry level pianos. Being a Yamaha dealer means servicing pianos which are engineered and produced with longevity and serviceability in mind, even their version of an entry-level piano. Add in the 100% Trade-In value, and you have not just a great price, but true value. Yamaha is there for you.
-Vincent J. Chambers Owner, Apollo Music & Arts
