A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

Yamaha YUA series questions

on: April 25, 2011, 12:49:04 AM

I'm preparing to purchase a Yamaha YUA piano. It was built in 1980, never re-built, only 10% wear and apparently it is a rare piano to find in the United States. I was told it is related to the X series from Yamaha (due to the back having a frame that looks like a X so it will give better sound quality and etc.) and that it is closest to the feel of a grand piano you can get. It's a concert upright.

My question is that is it true that the Yamaha YUA is related to the X series pianos they sell and it is manufactured only in Japan? Also what is the typical price range for this piano used in it's current condition? Again it was made in 1980, never re-built and only 10% wear.

Impossible to tell in this format. Have the instrument in question inspected for present mechanical condition and then local market value. Prices for used goods vary widely all across the country.

If you think it's is expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
