Yamaha YDP131

Description

I have a YDP 131-K Digital piano I would like to sell. It is only 4 months old, and is in perfect condition.

I am based in Chelmsford, Essex. I bought the instrument for £599.

It is brown, and looks very nice.

I’m selling this piano due to moving in long distance. It’s hardly used and condition is as good as new. The piano is selling with all original packaging and the warranty is still valid.

Piano : Yamaha YDP131
Colour : Rosewood

Description :
•  88 Full Size Piano Keys – the keys are shaped to look like a traditional piano keyboard

Questions/

Reading your review (and I also have your digital piano bible) I’d hope to be able to either find a YPD 131 or a similar quality model for a beginner.
I’m seeking your help with buying a digital piano for my 5 year old who has been playing piano for 2 years now with great pleasure and joy (Forte Music Education program).

She used to play on the YPD 131 now, of which I read your 2017 review.

So far I have not been able to find a YDP 131 to replace it (looked on eBay).

Could you please suggest how I could approach this issue?
Many thanks for your help.

Reply/ Hi Willem

We don’t have any Yamaha YDP131 pianos at the moment.
It is a very old model now, so would be difficult to find one
that’s in good condition.

Have you considered Rent to Buy?
You can see information about this here

I recommend going for either a Broadway AB1 or
Broadway BW1.
These are both really nice pianos to play and would
be ideal for your daughter to learn and progress on
up to the higher levels.
