Notes from Mark & Julie
We first sold this piano from our London showroom about 14 years ago, and it has now come back to us. Its owner kept it in an air-conditioned garden room, out of direct sunlight, which is about as kind a home as a piano can have. It was bought for family piano lessons, and when the lessons stopped the owner asked us to find it a new home. It once had a silent system, which was later professionally removed, so it is now a straightforward acoustic piano.
What is the Yamaha U3?
The U3 is Yamaha’s full-size upright and the one most teachers point you towards. It is taller than the U1, with longer strings and a bigger soundboard, so the tone is deeper and fuller. A properly prepared one lasts for decades and suits everyone from a keen beginner to an advanced player.
Approx dimensions: Height 131cm, width 153cm, depth 64cm.
