Yamaha AvantGrand N1

on: June 20, 2020, 10:46:51 PM

I've been quoted $8800 CAD before tax for Yamaha N1. Retails for 9500.

How much lower do you think I could realistically get in the Toronto suburbs from the official Yamaha dealer?

Also, any N1 comments are most welcome.

Looking for grand action that can be muted for neighbors. Used to playing a Yamaha grand G3 6'1".

Thanks!

N1 is old model now, replaced by N1X. There is also competition from Kawai called NV10. You can look also for pianos with silent models installed, like used Kawai ATX, and many from other brands. Just remember that Kawai and Yamaha have the most sophisticated silent systems, especially the new ones, but it's twice your budget.

Also, take in mind that Yamaha AvantGrand N series are fully digital pianos.
