Yamaha Introduces New M425 Upright Piano and Adds Finish Options for Popular Existing Models

BUENA PARK, Calif. (October 28, 2005) — Yamaha Corporation of America, Piano Division, has added a new model to its line of 44" acoustic upright pianos, and is also offering several new finish options for selected existing uprights.

New Yamaha Piano Finishes
An attractive, affordable upright piano and several striking finish options were showcased at Winter NAMM 2005.
The M425 44" Gallery Collection Acoustic Upright Piano takes its technical cues from the M450 upright, including a solid Spruce soundboard and full length ribs, solid copper wound bass strings, hard Maple bridges, aluminum alloy action rails, Yamaha balanced action, Spruce keys with hardwood buttons and grand piano key travel. But its look is all-new, with a high-gloss cherry finish and simplified cabinet style.

The T116 45" Professional Collection Acoustic Upright Piano, a popular upright model noted for its exceptional performance in home, church and school settings, was previously available in Polished Mahogany and Polished Ebony. Yamaha now adds the option of two additional lacquer finishes – one with and one without silver hardware. The high polished with silver hardware is a limited edition, with only 100 units being produced. The second T116 model features a satin lacquer finish.

On the M475 44" Gallery Collection Console Piano, a new Dark Cherry finish (M475IPDC) joins the appealing Traditional Mahogany and Italian Provincial looks that have long appealed to consumers.

Lastly, the workhorse P22 45" Professional Collection Acoustic Upright Piano adds a new Satin Black Lacquer finish (MSRP) to its existing selection of Satin American Walnut, Black Oak, Dark Oak and Light Oak.

"It's always been a hallmark of Yamaha pianos that they look as beautiful as they sound, and come in an array of styles to fit any décor," says Bernie McCaffery, Piano marketing manager, Yamaha Corporation of America. "Our addition of these new finish options to three popular and dependable models is further evidence of our commitment to that ideal."
