Making the call

Is The U3G Right For You?

The same instrument as the H for most practical purposes.

Choose the U3G if

  • You want full height bass and are not paying for the letter
  • There is lift access or the piano is going to a ground floor
  • A serious student or teacher is playing it

Look at something else if

  • Access is a staircase with awkward turns
  • You want the most liquid resale, which is the H
Sound and size

What The U3G Sounds Like

Full height bass with the Yamaha clarity on top. The difference between this and a U1 is not subtle: chords have something underneath them and the instrument fills a room without effort.

Sits directly before the H in the run. For most buyers the two are interchangeable, which makes the G worth asking about specifically.

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. There is no right answer here. Both are on the floor, so try them back to back.

Room and access

Will it get in?

  • Space: about 1.6 m of wall
  • Floor: roughly 1.1 m²
  • Case width 154 cm, depth 65 cm
  • Access: Service lift

248 kg. Lift is fine, stairs need planning. The case is 65 cm deep, which is more than most. Measure the doorway rather than assuming it will turn.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

Check the action regulation carefully. On heavily used full height uprights the repetition is the first thing to go, and it is also the most fixable.

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 U3G: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha U3G?

131 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 248 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a U3G fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 248 kg. Lift is fine, stairs need planning. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.

Is a used U3G a safe buy?

Check the action regulation carefully. On heavily used full height uprights the repetition is the first thing to go, and it is also the most fixable. It carries a five-year warranty on parts and labour, honoured by the workshop that did the work.

Can I rent a U3G instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a U3G specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.

Do you have a U3G in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. No stock today does not mean no stock next month. We watch for specific models.

How often does a U3G 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.
