Setting the standard by which other uprights are measured
Precise, ultra-responsive touch, clear, full-bodied tone and a reputation for reliability have made Yamaha’s U Series pianos the choice of professional musicians, conservatories, teachers, students, and music lovers, the world over. Add to that the company’s legendary attention to every detail of every piano, and it’s no surprise that the U Series has been the world’s most popular upright for over half a century.
The Yamaha U Series soundboards and ribs are crafted from solid spruce that has been hand selected at its Kitami Mill in Hokkaido, Japan, which gives these pianos a richer, more resonant voice and evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.
