The Yamaha M500QA is a 44-inch console piano made in the USA and is part of the Yamaha Gallery Collection, known for its hand-rubbed finish and elegant cabinet design. It features a balanced action, where each key is individually tested and corrected to achieve uniform "down weight" pressure, ensuring a lifetime of superior touch and control across the keyboard. The piano has 88 keys and 3 pedals, including the Practice Pedal, which makes the piano incredibly quiet. The M500QA was manufactured in 1996 and is known for its bright, clean tone.
