Frequently Asked Questions
The 622 generally offers a darker, more complex tone than the Yamaha 475, with a slightly more pronounced 'German' character; the Yamaha is often considered brighter and more focused.
Uebel uses their own proprietary key facings, designed to promote a responsive action and even tone across the range. They are not directly interchangeable with other brands' key systems.
The silver plating is robust, but like all silver, it will tarnish over time. Regular cleaning will minimize tarnishing and keep it looking its best; re-plating is typically needed every 5-10 years with proper care.
