Yamaha U3H Upright Piano

131 cm and 248 kg. This is the piano teachers name when a student is heading for practical exams, and the one most people mean by a proper upright. It is also 31 kg heavier than a U1H, which is the part that catches buyers out on delivery day.

Making the call

Is The U3H Right For You?

The most piano you can get without a grand, and the most access you will need for an upright.

Choose the U3H if

Grades are coming and the player has outgrown a smaller instrument
Somebody teaches at home or accompanies
There is a service lift, or ground floor access

Look at something else if

The piano has to go up a staircase with turns
The room is small and hard surfaced, where it will simply be too much

Sound and size

What The U3H Sounds Like

Long bass strings and a big soundboard, so the low register has weight that no 121 cm piano can produce. Played hard it stays musical instead of turning percussive, which is exactly what matters when somebody is working up an exam programme.

The H is the most common U3 in restored form and the best supported by technicians here. If you are buying one Yamaha upright for the next fifteen years, this is the default answer.

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.

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 is the number to plan around. In a service lift it is routine. Up stairs it is a real job and we will want to see the turns before quoting. 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

Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it.

Questions

Yamaha U3H: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha U3H?

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 U3H fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 248 kg is the number to plan around. In a service lift it is routine. Up stairs it is a real job and we will want to see the turns before quoting. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.

Is a used U3H a safe buy?

U3s often came out of schools and studios, so some have had heavy use. That is not automatically bad if the action was rebuilt properly, but it makes asking what was replaced more important, not less. Five years of parts and labour cover comes with it, from the same people who rebuilt it.

Can I rent a U3H instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a U3H specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.

Do you have a U3H in stock?

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

How often does a U3H need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it. Two tunings after delivery are included when you buy from us.
