Yamaha U1 SH

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 offers an astonishing level of elegance and excellence, incorporating concepts adapted from Yamaha's grand pianos.
A perennial favorite of melodic pianists, the Yamaha U1 delivers outstanding musical performance, setting the standards by which other grand pianos are measured.

Advanced scale design

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

Resonator and frame

A special rib configuration strengthens the soundboard, while rear and other forward rips further increase stiffness, resonance and structural stability.

Redesigned hammers

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

Slowly closing key cover

The damping mechanism, previously only used in grand pianos, prevents the deck from suddenly falling onto the keyboard, causing accidental injury or damage.
