Yamaha G2 Piano: What It's Worth in 2026, Prices & Listings
- Size
- 5'7"–5'8" (170 cm) grand
- Made
- The G series ran from the 1960s into the early 1990s, when the C and GC series replaced it
The Yamaha G2 was the home grand of the G series — Yamaha's consumer-grade grands from the 1960s through the early 1990s. It is a step below the Conservatory C series in refinement, but a G2 in good condition is a solid, honest instrument at a friendly price.
Because the G series is now decades old, condition matters more than anything. A G2 that has been regulated and had its hammers attended to plays well; a neglected one shows its age.

G2s are among the more affordable ways into a Yamaha grand. Prices are driven almost entirely by condition and refurbishment, not by year.

What to know about the Yamaha G2
- G-series grands used simpler construction than the C series; they were built to a price, and it shows mainly in tone complexity, not reliability.
- Expect original hammers and strings on most examples; budget for a technician's assessment.
- Refurbished dealer G2s (EP, PE finishes) are common on the used market and ask more than private examples.
- The G2 was replaced by the C2 and GC2, both newer designs.

What is a Yamaha G2 worth?
See the live figures above; the G2 usually asks less than a comparable C2 because it is an older, simpler design.
Is a Yamaha G2 a good piano?
A good G2 is a reliable, pleasant home grand. It is not a Conservatory-series piano, and it will not sound like a C-series, but for the price it is hard to beat.
G2 or C2?
If you can stretch to a C2, do; it is the better instrument. If not, a well-serviced G2 gives most of the experience for much less.
