Young Chang g157 1990 - Ebony Polish

Young Chang G157 Baby Grand
This 1990 Young Chang G157 baby grand is an excellent example of the high-quality pianos Young Chang produced during the height of its Korean manufacturing. At 5'2", the G157 is compact enough for a wide variety of rooms while still providing the expressive control, tonal depth, and dynamic range of a grand piano. This particular instrument was built in Young Chang’s premier Korean factory, rather than the Tianjin, China factory where Young Chang pianos are produced today.

One of the distinguishing features of this piano is its front and rear duplex scaling. Duplex scaling allows selected portions of the strings beyond the speaking length to vibrate sympathetically, contributing additional sustain, harmonic complexity, and richness to the tone. It is a sophisticated design feature associated with many high-level grand pianos. Just as important as the original construction is how a piano is prepared. This Young Chang has been carefully regulated and voiced to a level more typically associated with the preparation of Steinway and other top-tier instruments. The action has been adjusted for evenness, responsiveness, and control, while the hammers have been voiced to produce a balanced tonal palette throughout the registers, not the overly bright sound associated with lesser Asian pianos. The result is a piano with a clear, focused attack, a singing treble, warmth through the tenor, and a surprisingly substantial bass for an instrument of this size. The touch is responsive and even, allowing everything from delicate pianissimo playing to powerful fortissimo passages with excellent control.

The polished ebony cabinet is in excellent condition, giving the piano an elegant appearance suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. For someone seeking a high-quality baby grand without the price of a comparable new premium instrument, this Korean-built Young Chang G157 represents an exceptional value.
