Yamaha U2D Upright Piano

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.

Making the call

Is The U2D Right For You?

A condition purchase, not a model purchase.

Choose the U2D if

  • You are looking at one specific well rebuilt example
  • You want the mid size without paying for the recognised letters
  • You are patient enough to wait for the right one

Look at something else if

  • You want the easiest instrument to resell
  • You would rather not think about age
Sound and size

What The U2D Sounds Like

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.

Room and access

Will it get in?

  • Space: about 1.6 m of wall
  • Floor: roughly 1.0 m²
  • Case width 150 cm, depth 61 cm
  • Access: Lift preferred

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.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

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.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

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.

Where The U2D Sits In The Range

127 cm, six centimetres taller than a U1, and the difference lands in the bass rather than the touch.

Questions

Yamaha U2D: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha U2D?

127 cm tall, 150 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 228 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a U2D fit my place?

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.

Is a used U2D a safe buy?

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.

Can I rent a U2D instead?

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.

Do you have a U2D in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. When we are out, we say so rather than steer you into whatever is on the floor.

How often does a U2D need tuning in Malaysia?

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.
