Description
On Consignment: Pramberger by Young Chang JP-185 Platinum Edition 6’1″ Grand Piano
Estimated Year: 2002 • Polished Brown Mahogany • QRS Player Piano System
This beautiful Pramberger JP-185 Platinum Edition is a 6’1″ grand piano finished in gorgeous Polished Brown Mahogany. It has a lovely, singing tone and a smooth, responsive action, making it an excellent choice for a home, teaching studio, church, or other setting where a quality grand piano is desired.
At 6’1″, the JP-185 is large enough to provide the fuller tone and bass response of a substantial grand while still being a practical size for many homes and studios.
QRS Player Piano System
This piano is also equipped with a QRS Pianomation 2000C player piano system, along with an added Yamaha MIDI adapter that provides Bluetooth connectivity.
Using the PianoStream app, you can enjoy player-piano performances streamed through the system—giving you the option of listening to the piano play in addition to playing it yourself.

About the Pramberger Platinum Edition
The Pramberger Platinum Edition was developed as Young Chang’s premium piano line with design and specifications overseen by Joseph Pramberger, a respected piano designer and engineer who previously worked for Steinway & Sons in New York.
These Korean-built Platinum Edition instruments incorporated quality components, including German-made parts, and were designed to compete at a higher level than Young Chang’s standard piano offerings.
Although this particular Young Chang-built J.P. Pramberger Platinum Edition is no longer produced (Samick took over production of the Pramberger pianos in 2003), a comparable new grand piano of this size and quality can easily carry a price of $37,000 or more in today’s market. Add a modern player piano system comparable to the QRS system installed in this piano, and the cost can increase by another $8,000 to $12,000 or more, depending on the system and installation.
That makes this JP-185 an especially interesting opportunity for someone who would like a substantial 6’1″ grand piano with a beautiful tone, attractive Polished Brown Mahogany finish, and the added enjoyment of a player system—at a fraction of what a similarly equipped new piano could cost today.
