Pre-owned Yamaha SE132 upright piano in polished ebony c.2013

Introducing the pre-owned Yamaha SE132 upright piano c.2013

Still a current model and sitting towards the very peak of Yamaha’s upright piano lineup, the SE132 is a premium level, handcrafted instrument designed to compete in the same area of the market as Bosendorfer, Bluthner, Steinway, Bechstein and more. Hailed by Yamaha as a meeting of East and West, the design of the SE132 combines Yamaha’s renowned action geometry and precision engineering with European Renner hammers and a Bavarian spruce soundboard. The result is a responsive and remarkably well balanced instrument with an extraordinary depth of tone, and one which will suit the demands of the performing musician and enthusiastic amateur alike.

Standing at 132cm tall it is also the largest upright in Yamaha’s arsenal, and is factory fitted with a sostenuto pedal instead of a practice mechanism, giving it the same pedaling functionality as an acoustic grand piano. This makes the SE132 an ideal purchase for those who require the performance of a grand piano but lack sufficient space to house one. Elegant traditional style cabinetry includes refined features such as a soft-closing and lockable fallboard, with a long length and felt lined music desk.

This example from 2013 is in excellent condition throughout and presents a rare opportunity to purchase a performance quality acoustic upright piano at a fraction of the cost of a new equivalent. The piano has been freshly serviced by our workshop technicians and is on display, ready for selection and prompt delivery.

A unique collaboration between East and West

The Yamaha SE Series is a superb blend of Japanese precision engineering and European piano building heritage. European tonewoods and a Yamaha action are assembled at Yamaha's concert grand facility in Hamamatsu, Japan.

Bespoke handcrafting and refinement

The Yamaha SE Series is handmade by the same artisan craftsmen who produce the class leading CF Series concert grand pianos. Wooden components come from Yamaha's wood processing plant in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, including the solid Bavarian spruce soundboard. These parts are specially selected for maturity and harmonic quality.

Superior component quality

The finest European hammers, made by Renner, are selected for the SE series, along with hand-spun Bösendorfer bass strings for a distinctly European tonal quality.

Luxurious, elegant cabinetry

Yamaha SE Series pianos are beautifully proportioned, with luxurious touches including a leather lined music desk and a soft-close fallboard which retracts into the cabinet of the piano to avoid spoiling the elegant, classic upright styling.
