Inspection report of Yamaha grand model G3 J # 4150504 made in 1985
The piano has a high polish ebony finish in near pristine condition. There are some smudges on the finish that will come off with a damp microfiber cloth.
There is only a trace of wear on the hammers; it's hardly been played.
The piano is very clean inside, and the soundboard, strings and bridges appear to be in perfect condition.
The touch is comfortable and balanced and the tone is warm and evenly balanced. It has no service needs and will only a tuning after it settles into its new home.
The bench is missing one of the height adjustment screws - might be easiest to remove the remaining three.
Remove white drips on the inside of the lid (the fly) with a damp soft cloth.
It is very rare to find a piano of this age in such pristine condition.

Video of the scales being played available upon request.
