Frequently Asked Questions

1 What Yamaha musical instruments can I shop at Irvine Art & Music?

Irvine Art & Music lists Yamaha acoustic guitars, digital pianos and keyboards, violins, cellos, saxophones, clarinets, trombones and drums. The assortment includes student and advanced models, but availability and checkout options vary by product. Check individual listings for exact specifications and current stock.

2 Which Yamaha instrument should I choose for a school band or orchestra student?

Start with the instrument, size and model requirements from the student's music teacher or school. Yamaha YAS-26 alto saxophones and YSL-354C trombones are listed as student models, while Yamaha Braviol violins and cellos serve orchestral players. For string instruments, confirm the correct size and included accessories before buying.

3 Do Yamaha violins and cellos include a bow and case?

It depends on the product. The Yamaha AV10 violin outfit includes a bow and case, and the Yamaha AVC5 cello outfit also lists a bow and carrying bag. The Yamaha AVC20G cello is listed as instrument-only, without a bow or case. Check the exact outfit or instrument-only listing before purchasing.

4 Should I buy a Yamaha digital piano or a portable keyboard?

Choose a Yamaha digital piano if weighted keys and a piano-style playing feel are priorities; the P-45 is listed with 88 graded hammer-action keys. A portable keyboard can be more suitable if you prefer lighter keys, multiple accompaniment features or easy transport. Compare the exact model, speakers, pedals and stand requirements before buying.
