Yamaha U2E Upright Piano

An earlier 127 cm U2 at 228 kg. Same case and same scale as the better known U2H, and the decision between them is about the individual instrument rather than the letter.

Making the call

Is The U2E Right For You?

Worth taking seriously if the specific piano has been rebuilt well.

Choose the U2E if

You want U2 bass and are flexible about generation
The instrument in front of you has documented work
The room can take 127 cm comfortably

Look at something else if

You want the most commonly serviced generation
You would rather have a younger instrument at the same money

Sound and size

What The U2E Sounds Like

Fuller than a U1 through the bottom two octaves, with the even Yamaha response above. It is the size at which an upright stops sounding like a starter piano.

The E generation sits early in the U2 run. Fewer reach Malaysia than the H, so when one turns up in good order it usually has had proper work done.

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. Neither is better. Play both, which you can do on one floor at the shop.

Room and access

Will it get in?

Floor: roughly 1.0 m²
Case width 150 cm, depth 61 cm
Access: Lift preferred

228 kg, and the case is the same footprint as a U1. Only the weight changes. 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

On earlier U2s, check the dampers as well as the hammers. Uneven damping is common and fixable, but it should be reflected in the price.

Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it.

Questions

Yamaha U2E: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha U2E?

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 U2E fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 228 kg, and the case is the same footprint as a U1. Only the weight changes. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used U2E a safe buy?

On earlier U2s, check the dampers as well as the hammers. Uneven damping is common and fixable, but it should be reflected in the price. It carries a five-year warranty on parts and labour, honoured by the workshop that did the work.

Can I rent a U2E instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a U2E specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.

Do you have a U2E in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. If nothing suits, we will tell you that too.

How often does a U2E need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it. The first two tunings are on us, once it has settled in.
