Yamaha b1 or yamaha c110
Hi, can you please give me an advice, I want to buy yamaha second hand pianino. I saw b1pe, it's almost new and it's really cheap (surprisingly cheap) cca 2100$ and yamaha c110a, it's more expensive cca 3200$.
Can you please tell me what's the difference, and which pianino is better.

We will need your prices converted to UK pound sterling please.
Also it is very difficult to comment on price comparisons between 2 very similar pianos - and as no one knows their second-hand condition, its impossible to say.
Buying on-line is also risky, and if the piano is not what it seemed to be - very difficult returning it.
Always check that there is a genuine serial number on Yamaha's piano - and newer pianos have it located in two places; inside the top lid, and decalled onto the cast iron gold frame. I would also consider having the pianos checked over by a reputable pianist or piano tuner before making a purchase.

C110A was made in Pearl River factory in China and the B1 is made in the Yamaha factory in Indonesia. In my opinion the B1 is a better piano out of the box new over the C110. However, as we are taking second hand you need to get a tuner to look at one you go for
