The black casing is currently in its original guise, and does show wear, but is what true collectors desire. The option of having it re-polished is available at an additional cost. The dimensions of this piano are 155 cm in length and 151 cm in width.

Yamaha pianos carry such a good reputation that we seldom find stock like this to purchase.
As luck would have it we have found two model C2 Grand pianos.
Both were purchased new by their previous owners.  One supposedly in around 1998, and the other approximately 8 years ago.
I have not verified these dates as yet.
Both are in excellent condition showing little or practically no wear.
Pricing of the 5 million serial number model (DE 923) R 170 000.00 and the more recent model (DE 922) R 190 000.00 including VAT.
These ought to be very easy sellers, the C2 model is 1.8 metres in length (width of 152 cm), making it a really nice sized grand.
They have a reputation for being able to project sound especially well, over other models and would be pleasing to serious pianists, fantastic for public institutions and so on.

DE 922 Yamaha Grand piano with stool. Serial number 6139771. This C2 is reputedly around 9 years old and is finished in high-gloss ebony. The C2 is a professional quality instrument, made in Japan.  It is 1.8 metres in length. It was purchased by Eshelby Pianos from its original owner. The piano is an amazing example, being probably as close to a new condition piano as possible - barely used and having only ever been moved since being placed in the buyer's home. Yamaha's reputation speaks for itself.  This would be a highly sought after piano.
Sale price: R 190 000.00 (incl. VAT).

DE 923 Yamaha Grand piano with stool. Serial number 5502696. This C2 is finished in high-gloss ebony. The C2 is a professional quality instrument, made in Japan.  It is 1.8 metres in length. Yamaha's reputation speaks for itself.  This would be a highly sought-after piano.
Sale price: R 170 000.00 (incl. VAT).
