131 cm, 248 kg, and squarely in the middle of the U3 run. Everything the line is known for, under a letter fewer people search.
Give us the floor and the lift situation and we will be straight with you about whether this one suits.
Yamaha
In the price, not added at the end.
The same instrument as its better known siblings.
Deep, even and unforced. The bass has real length behind it and the action holds up under the kind of repetitive work exam preparation involves.
Dimensionally identical to every other U3. The generation affects detail rather than scale.
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. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and twenty minutes at the shop settles it faster than any description.
248 kg. Lift yes, stairs with care. The case is 65 cm deep, which is more than most. Measure the doorway rather than assuming it will turn.
Yamaha built several at 131 cm tall: the U3A, U3D, U3E, U3G and 15 others. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the U3F is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha U3F This model | 131 cm | 248 kg | 154 cm |
| Yamaha U3A | 131 cm | 248 kg | 154 cm |
| Yamaha U3D | 131 cm | 248 kg | 154 cm |
| Yamaha U3E | 131 cm | 248 kg | 154 cm |
Check repetition speed across the whole keyboard rather than just in the middle. Uneven action regulation is the most common fault and the most straightforward to correct.
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.
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.
Yamaha's 131 cm upright. What teachers ask for, and what most exam candidates practise on at home.
131 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 248 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 248 kg. Lift yes, stairs with care. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.
Check repetition speed across the whole keyboard rather than just in the middle. Uneven action regulation is the most common fault and the most straightforward to correct. 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 U3F 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. If we do not have one, we will say so and tell you what is close on size and weight.
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.
Ask what is actually in the shop today. We will send photos of the specific piano, tell you what was replaced in the rebuild, and be honest if another model fits you better.
