I just did some google search and saw some nice used Yamaha U-1 and similar Kawai 48-52" uprights, 80-90', listing here in the US in the same price range of 2-3K, from dealers with warranty. But logically, if you like that Young Chang, which copied the Yamaha U-1 like people said, I really think that you should check out a real U-1 and similar Kawais before deciding. I grew up with a Yamaha U-1 that was made in the 90s so I can definitely tell you that one is an excellent upright. Unless you particularly and totally are in love with that piano, I would go out to check out and play more pianos before deciding which piano to buy for 2K. About the Young Chang and about Rick Jones being a familiar trustworthy personality in the piano world. Yes I might buy one locally (Vancouver, BC). Maybe it had been "rode hard and put up wet", as we say here in the south.Īre you interested in buying a Young Chang piano? However, there was one older Young Chang upright that I played at a Church that I was very unimpressed with.
I've played several over the years, both grands and uprights, and they seemed like nice pianos to me. So, yes, there is a market for Young Chang pianos. I think the piano sold in a day or so of the ad's debut. I was actually tempted to enquire about it because it seemed like such a great deal. I saw a later model Weber (a YC product) 48" upright piano for sale on FB Marketplace a week or so ago for $700 being sold by a Church in Fayetteville Ga. In regards to Young Chang pianos in general, I think they can be nice sounding/playing pianos. I would not be afraid to buy one of his pianos.

I've been very impressed with his playing, plus he seems like a very nice guy. He can play most any genre of music, and play it well. I always enjoy watching and listening to Rick Jones play his pianos. Not to be impolite, but Rick Jones looks like he's gained some weight since the last time I saw one of his music videos.
