Young Chang Upright Piano: Made in 1992

Since the 1950’s the Young Chang piano company has had a reputation for building quality instruments at low prices. They were one of the first manufactures in Korea and during the 1980’s and 1990’s did very well penetrating the US and Canadian market with upright and grand pianos. The Young Chang upright piano was a popular choice for home use, but generally was not considered suitable for institutional use which is usually reserved for higher quality brands such as Kawai and Yamaha.

The market for used pianos in Toronto is one of the most competitive and active markets in North America and features a very wide range of choices. Used Young Chang upright piano models are sometimes hard to find in good condition since the life expectancy can vary from 15 – 30 years depending on whether or not it’s a Korean or Chinese made model. Some Young Chang upright piano models were very well made in the 1980’s or early 90’s but starting in the 2000’s when Young Chang started building upright piano models and grand pianos in Tianjin, China the quality slowly dropped. Right now Young Chang is one of the lowest prices upright pianos on the market and can be purchased brand new starting at under $3000 for a Chinese made instrument.

This specific Young Chang upright piano was originally built in Korea in 1992 and is a one owner, excellent condition model. This piano has been very well maintained over the years (we have a relationship with the piano technician who serviced the instrument) and was traded in for a Kawai K3 upright piano. This would be an excellent choice for a family or music teacher looking for a high quality piano for their home on a tight budget.
