New Grand Piano vs Yamaha Reconditioned Grand Piano: Which Should You Choose?
New Grand Piano vs Yamaha Reconditioned Grand Piano: Which Should You Choose?
Compare new Yamaha Grand Pianos, Churairat Music's Classic Grand Piano, and reconditioned Yamaha Grand Pianos by budget, size, and real-world use.
There Is No Single Answer That “New” or “Used” Is Always Better
When choosing a Grand Piano, you do not have to begin by deciding only between new and used. Each option serves a different purpose. A new Grand Piano gives you a clearly defined model and budget, while a reconditioned Yamaha Grand Piano from Churairat Music can make it possible to choose a larger Yamaha Grand Piano at a lower budget.
Which Option Should You Choose?
Choose a new Grand Piano if you want a brand-new instrument with a clearly defined model and budget. Choose a reconditioned Yamaha Grand Piano from Churairat Music if you want to compare actual Yamaha Grand Pianos and choose a size that suits your home at a lower price than a comparable new model. Room size, a playing test, and the reconditioning standard should all be considered together.

Reconditioned Yamaha G-3 3 Pedals / G-5 3 Pedals / C3 / C5

Reconditioned Yamaha C7 or New Yamaha C Series Grand Piano
Compare the 227 cm size with your budget and the space available for the piano.
3. “New” Does Not Always Mean It Is the Best Choice for Everyone
A new Grand Piano is a straightforward option for buyers who specifically want a brand-new piano and can define their budget clearly. However, the length of the piano should also be considered, because size affects string length, soundboard area, sound power, and the amount of space required in the home.
For buyers moving up to a Grand Piano for the first time, the Classic GPX-152 from Churairat Music can be a starting point for discovering whether a Baby Grand size suits the intended use and available space. If you later want to move to a longer Grand Piano, the buy-back guarantee can also help avoid the need to sell the piano yourself.
4. When Does a Reconditioned Yamaha Grand Piano Make Sense?
Reconditioned Yamaha Grand Pianos from Churairat Music are suitable for buyers who want to compare several Yamaha Grand Piano sizes in person, from the G-2, G-3, G-5, C3 and C5 through to the C7. Begin with the room size, then consider the actual condition, tonal balance, key weight, key response, and pedals of the individual piano.
Some G-2, G-3 and G-5 pianos have 2 pedals: a Soft Pedal and a Sustain / Damper Pedal. Three-pedal models add a Sostenuto Pedal, which can sustain selected notes or chords that are held before the middle pedal is pressed. The number of pedals is a matter of function and does not mean that a 2-pedal piano is lower in quality.
5. Why Is the Churairat Recondition Standard Important?
The Churairat Recondition Standard begins before the piano arrives in Thailand. The Churairat Music team selects pianos in Japan, looking for instruments with a good foundation in the finish and exterior cabinet, structure, keyboard action, hammers, and internal components so they are suitable for reconditioning. The selection is not based primarily on finding the cheapest pianos.
After import, every Churairat Music piano must pass the Churairat Recondition Standard before delivery. The process covers more than 50 inspection and reconditioning points, including the structure, soundboard, keyboard action, hammers, external and internal components, tonal balance adjustment, and tuning.
