Pre-owned Yamaha SU118C upright piano in polished ebony, c.2005

Introducing the Yamaha SU118 Upright Piano c.2005

Made in small numbers and aimed at the discerning teacher, performer or composer, the Yamaha SU118 is beautifully handcrafted by master craftsmen, and cherished by those lucky enough to own one.

Despite its smaller stature, at 118cm tall the SU118 is a remarkably expressive and resonant piano, with the same speaking string length and soundboard area as the popular U1.

Handbuilt from the finest materials in Yamaha’s inventory, the SU118 delivers an incredibly powerful tone, particularly in the bass, making this an ideal choice for those who require the depth and power of a larger instrument but lack the physical space.

Manufactured in 2005 and privately owned since, this piano presents a rare opportunity to purchase a comparatively young, handcrafted instrument and simply must be tried!

An instrument of sublime rarity

Made in very limited numbers, the Yamaha SU Series is designed primarily for the European market and represents the very pinnacle of Japanese upright piano manufacture. The finest tonewoods and action components are assembled at Yamaha's premium piano facility in Hamamatsu, Japan.

Bespoke handcrafting and refinement

The Yamaha SU Series is handmade by the same artisan craftsmen who produce the class leading CF Series concert grand pianos, with its wooden components specially selected for maturity and harmonic quality from Yamaha's wood processing plant in Asahikawa, Hokkaido.

Superior component quality

The finest quality Japanese action components are selected for the SU series, each designed to maximise expression and tonality.

Luxurious, elegant cabinetry

Yamaha SU Series pianos are beautifully proportioned with elegant, simple lines, with nothing to distract from the performance.

Preparation is key

Each instrument leaves Yamaha workshops in optimum condition, with the highest level of quality control and ready for a lifetime of service. The piano is then bespoke-prepared by our in-house technical team prior to sale to bring out the very best qualities of each individual instrument.
