A 127 cm U2 at 228 kg from early in the run. These are older pianos now, and what matters is what has been replaced since rather than what year it left the factory.
Send the room size and which floor it is going to. If it will not fit, we would rather tell you now than on delivery day.
Yamaha
In the price, not added at the end.
A condition purchase, not a model purchase.
The U2 bass with an older voice: slightly rounder on top than the later generations where the hammers have been renewed sympathetically. Where they have not, it can sound tired.
Sits at the start of the U2 alphabet. It is the same scale as every other U2, so the difference is condition and nothing else.
Yamaha is the brighter and quicker of the two, which is why exam candidates keep asking for one. Some players find the treble tiring over long sessions. It is a preference, not a ranking. Come and sit at both.
228 kg. Ordinary with a lift, planned without one. At 61 cm front to back it is one of the shallower cases in the range, which is worth knowing if the hallway it has to pass through is narrow.
Yamaha built several at 127 cm tall: the U2E, U2F, U2G, U2H and 2 others. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the U2D is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha U2D This model | 127 cm | 228 kg | 150 cm |
| Yamaha U2E | 127 cm | 228 kg | 150 cm |
| Yamaha U2F | 127 cm | 228 kg | 150 cm |
| Yamaha U2G | 127 cm | 228 kg | 150 cm |
The pin block is the thing to satisfy yourself about. Everything else on a U2 is repairable.
Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will.
For families not yet sure the lessons will stick. Rent a restored piano monthly, and if you keep it, everything paid comes off the price.
127 cm, six centimetres taller than a U1, and the difference lands in the bass rather than the touch.
127 cm tall, 150 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 228 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 228 kg. Ordinary with a lift, planned without one. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.
The pin block is the thing to satisfy yourself about. Everything else on a U2 is repairable. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a U2D specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.
Ask, because it changes week to week. When we are out, we say so rather than steer you into whatever is on the floor.
Twice a year. Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will. Two free tunings in the first fortnight come with the piano.
Stock changes weekly. Message us and we will tell you whether a U2D is on the floor, send photos and the serial number, and say if something else suits you better.
