Yamaha U1 | Upright Piano | Polished Ebony

A perennial favorite among discerning pianists, the Yamaha U1 offers outstanding musical performance, setting the standards by which many other upright pianos are measured.

Our U Series upright pianos have long been a leading choice for educational institutions, professional musicians and discerning home pianists.

Thanks to a comprehensive redesign, these world-class instruments are better than ever, with numerous advances in materials and construction. Refined scale designs and components improve tonal performance, while other modifications enhance strength and durability. Extra-wide music desks provide plenty of room for sheet music. And the top-of-the-line touch, tone and response sets extraordinary standards of excellence, incorporating concepts adapted from our world-class grand pianos.

• Advanced Scale Design – Refinements in all elements of sound production have given today's U Series a richer, more resonant voice with evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.
• Soundboard and Frame – Special rib configurations add strength to the soundboard, while back post and other advances further enhance rigidity, resonance and structural stabiltiy.
• Redesigned Hammers – U Series hammers use materials specifically selected for each model to provide optimum tone production, response and long term durability.
• Soft-Close Fallboard – A damping mechanism, formerly used only in grand pianos, prevents the fall board from dropping abruptly onto the keyboard, guarding against accidental injury or damage.
