Yamaha U3 Upright Acoustic Piano

The Yamaha U3 is the tallest model in the U Series, Yamaha's long-established line of professional uprights. At 131 cm high, it has a larger soundboard than the 121 cm U1, giving it extra expressiveness and playability while keeping the warm, solid sound the U Series is known for.

This listing is the U3 in polished ebony, supplied with a piano bench. It suits advancing students, teachers, music schools and serious players at home who want a full-size upright that can handle demanding repertoire.

Key Features

131 cm U3: The Tallest U Series Model

High-Quality Materials and Advanced Construction

Yamaha attributes the U Series' sound and durability to careful design, strict quality control of the wood, and parts engineered to resist warping and twisting. The result is a smooth, sensitive touch that conveys even delicate nuances.

Larger Spruce Soundboard

The U3 uses a spruce soundboard of 2,369 square inches, compared with 2,137 square inches on the U1, and its lowest bass string has a speaking length of 47.5 inches. A larger soundboard and longer bass strings help give the U3 its fuller, deeper voice.

V-Pro Plate with Hard Maple Bridge and Pinblock

A V-Pro plate carries the string tension, while the bridge and pinblock are made of hard maple and the tuning pins are cut-thread. Spruce back posts reinforce the structure behind the soundboard.

Metal Action Rail and Seasoning for Destination

A metal action rail gives the action a stable mounting, and Yamaha seasons the U3 for the climate where it will be played. Both help the piano keep a consistent touch and stable regulation over time.

Soft-Close Fallboard on the U3

A damping mechanism built into the fallboard lowers the key cover slowly, helping to prevent pinched fingers and protecting the keys.

Three Pedals and Durable Key Surfaces

Damper, muffler and soft pedals give full traditional control, with the muffler pedal for quieter practice. The 88 keys have acrylic resin white key surfaces and phenolic resin black key surfaces.
