Usato, Yamaha, SE132

Introducing the pre-owned Yamaha SE132 upright piano c.2013
The Yamaha SE132 remains one of the finest upright pianos in Yamaha’s current range, positioned at the very top of the company’s upright piano lineup. This premium handcrafted instrument was developed to compete with some of the world’s most prestigious piano makers, including Bösendorfer, Blüthner, Steinway & Sons, and Bechstein. Described by Yamaha as a fusion of Eastern precision and Western tradition, the SE132 combines Yamaha’s renowned action design and engineering expertise with European Renner hammers and a Bavarian spruce soundboard. The result is an exceptionally responsive and beautifully balanced instrument, offering impressive tonal depth, clarity, and expressive capability for both professional musicians and discerning enthusiasts.

At 132cm in height, the SE132 is Yamaha’s largest upright piano. Unlike most uprights, it is equipped with a sostenuto pedal rather than a practice mechanism, providing the same three-pedal functionality found on an acoustic grand piano. This feature, combined with its powerful tonal presence and refined touch, makes the SE132 an outstanding choice for pianists seeking grand piano performance in a more space-efficient format.

The elegant cabinet design reflects the instrument’s premium status, featuring a soft-close, lockable fallboard, a generously sized music desk, and high-quality felt-lined detailing throughout.

This 2013 example is presented in excellent condition and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a concert-quality upright piano at a significant saving compared with a new equivalent model. Recently serviced by our workshop technicians, it is fully prepared for its next owner and is available for viewing, selection, and prompt delivery.
