Setting the standard by which all other upright pianos are measured, a Yamaha U Series instrument is consistently the leading piano of choice for professional musicians, piano teachers, educational institutions and discerning amateurs the world over. The perfect choice for the advanced pianist and very much cornerstone of Yamaha’s upright piano offering, the Yamaha U Series has been produced in Japan since the early 1950’s and is today better than ever. Both models are available with Silent Technology, allowing you to play silently, using headphones, any time of day or night, while the U1 is also available as a TransAcoustic or a Disklavier piano.
We always stock Yamaha U1 and U3 in polished ebony while other finishes are usually available to order. Contact us for further information.
Measuring 121cm tall, the Yamaha U1 upright piano is the same size as the b3 and P121 but is manufactured at Yamaha’s main production facility in Hamamatsu Japan, alongside the CX series grand pianos. The more mature spruce of the U1’s soundboard over that of the b3 and P121, along with enhanced action component quality makes for an instrument that is consistently more resonant, responsive and ultimately more satisfying to play and to hear. The definitive choice for the home, practice room or teaching studio, and worth comparing against the Kawai K-500.

The larger of the U Series instruments, the 131cm tall Yamaha U3 upright piano incorporates many design features of the smaller U1, including its styling, long music desk and soft-closing fallboard. The U3S also benefits from a sostenuto pedal for selective sustaining instead of a practice pedal, giving it the same pedal functionality as a Yamaha grand piano. The U3 also features Yamaha’s unique ‘floating’ soundboard, enabling it to vibrate more freely and enhancing its resonance. A perfect choice for the advanced or professional pianist, the longer strings and larger soundboard of the U3 over the U1 also afford it a very similar tonal quality to that of a baby grand piano.
