Used Yamaha YUS5 pianos for sale
The Yamaha YUS5 is one of the finest uprights Yamaha makes, and one of the hardest to find second-hand. We bring in reconditioned Yamaha pianos from Japan, so good ones come up with us more often than most places.

Yamaha U3 Premium
An upgraded version of the U3 with higher-grade internal materials. We currently have 7 in stock.
If you cannot see a YUS5 above, we can usually find one for you. Call us on 0161 213 9402, message us on WhatsApp, or book a showroom visit using the links at the top of the page. Every piano comes with free UK delivery and all the offers listed below.
What makes the YUS5 special
It shares its tall frame with the well-loved U3, so you are starting from a proven design. On top of that it has upgraded hammers and better strings, which give it a richer, deeper tone. The wide music desk has open panels behind it that let the sound out more freely. It also has a sostenuto (middle) pedal, which most uprights do not. In short, it is built for someone who wants close to grand-piano quality without the floor space. It holds its value well too, which is part of why used ones are so scarce.
An honest word on price
These are expensive, and we will not pretend otherwise. Because they are rare and sought after, a good used YUS5 usually costs more than £9,000. If that is beyond your budget, a Yamaha U3, or one of the U300, U30A or U30BL models, gives you much of the same feel for less. A U1 is smaller again but still a lovely piano. We are happy to talk you through the options with no pressure.
What you get when you buy from us
Every piano we sell comes with 0% finance (a deposit then 18 monthly payments), free UK delivery, a free first tuning in your home, our lifetime warranty, and 14-day free returns with free collection and a full refund.
Each reconditioned upright goes through our 50-point inspection and preparation checklist before it is sold. We repair or replace only what needs it, so the piano is sound throughout, not just tidied up on the surface.
Buying from anywhere in the UK
If you cannot get to a showroom, buying at a distance is simple. You order online, we invoice you, and specialist movers deliver. If you would rather we picked a good one for you, just ask. Our showrooms in Manchester and London are open by appointment if you would like to play before you buy.
About the YUS5
It stands 131cm tall, the same height as the U3, but with a wider music desk and the open panels behind. The YUS1 is smaller at 121cm, so it has shorter strings and less depth. The YUS3 is very close to the YUS5, but without the wider desk. All of them are made at Yamaha’s Hamamatsu factory in Japan.
Height: 131cm
Width: 153cm
Depth: 64cm

Who it suits
The YUS5 suits advancing students, teachers and professional players who want the best upright sound in a normal-sized room. For most players it is a piano you will never need to upgrade from. The only natural step up is a medium or large grand.
