Yamaha C2 Piano: What It's Worth in 2026, Prices & Listings

Size: 5'8" (173 cm) grand
Made: Conservatory series, made until the CX series replaced it in 2012

The Yamaha C2 is the home-sized Conservatory grand: at 5'8" it has enough string length for a convincing bass while still fitting most living rooms. It is the model many families choose after outgrowing an upright.

Used C2s are sought after and hold value well because they sit at the sweet spot of size, tone and price in the Yamaha line.

What to know about the Yamaha C2

The C2 replaced the G2 and shares the modern C-series action; it plays noticeably more refined than a G2 of the same size.
Finish variants (PE polished ebony, WAL walnut) affect price modestly; condition affects it far more.
Check the hammers and strings on any example over twenty years old; a C2 that has had a regulation and voicing plays like new.
The C2X successor is a newer design and prices separately.
