Making the call

Is The U2M Right For You?

The pick if you want the newest mid size Yamaha you can find.

Choose the U2M if

  • You want the youngest U2 available
  • Cabinet condition matters to you
  • The player is working towards exams

Look at something else if

  • You prefer a warmer, older voice
  • You want the absolute cheapest way into a U2
Sound and size

What The U2M Sounds Like

The U2 middle with a slightly firmer, later action feel. Clear rather than warm, which suits exam preparation more than it suits background playing.

Late in the U2 run, so examples are generally younger than the D or E instruments. That usually shows in the cabinet more than in the tone.

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

226 kg, marginally the lightest U2. Not enough to change your access plan. 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

Younger does not mean unused. Ask how it was stored, because a piano that sat closed in a damp room can be in worse shape than an older one that was played weekly.

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.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

If you are not ready to commit, rent one by the month. Decide to keep it and the rent you have paid comes off the purchase price.

Where The U2M 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 U2M: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha U2M?

127 cm tall, 150 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 226 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a U2M fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 226 kg, marginally the lightest U2. Not enough to change your access plan. Tell us the building and we will tell you whether this one can get in.

Is a used U2M a safe buy?

Younger does not mean unused. Ask how it was stored, because a piano that sat closed in a damp room can be in worse shape than an older one that was played weekly. It carries a five-year warranty on parts and labour, honoured by the workshop that did the work.

Can I rent a U2M instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a U2M specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.

Do you have a U2M in stock?

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

How often does a U2M 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.
