The plating is of a standard thickness; consistent care and polishing will keep it looking its best, but minor wear is inevitable over time.
While the Yanagisawa offers a higher-end feel and often more complex tonal palette, the Yamaha provides exceptional value and a very playable experience – a great choice for those not needing the absolute top tier.
