Yamaha GH1 Piano: What It's Worth in 2026, Prices & Listings

Size: 5'3" (161 cm) baby grand
Made: Made in the 1990s and early 2000s; replaced by the GC1

The Yamaha GH1 was Yamaha's popular baby grand of the 1990s: a 5'3" grand aimed at homes, simpler in construction than the C1 but with the Yamaha consistency that makes used examples dependable.

GH1s are plentiful on the used market and are a common first grand. They are valued on condition, finish and whether a dealer has refurbished them.
