Yamaha U3

Thanks to a comprehensive redesign, these world-class devices are better than ever, with many material and construction advancements. Refined proportions and components improve tonal performance, while other modifications increase strength and durability. Extra wide music tables provide plenty of space for sheet music. And the top-of-the-line sets extraordinary standards of elegance and excellence, featuring concepts tailored to Yamaha pianos. A perennial favorite among melodic pianists, the Yamaha U1 delivers outstanding musical performance, setting the standard by which many other upright pianos are measured.

Advanced scale design

Refinements in every element of sound production deliver a richer, more resonant sound in today's U-series, with an evenly balanced sound across the entire keyboard.

Soundboard and frame

Special rib configurations strengthen the soundboard, while rear and other advancements further increase stiffness, resonance and structural stability.

Redesigned hammers

The U Series hammers use specially selected materials for each model for optimal sound absorption, response and long-term durability.

Slowly closing lid

Previously only used in grand pianos, the damping mechanism prevents the floor from suddenly sinking onto the keyboard, preventing accidental damage or injury.
