Making the call

Is The U5D Right For You?

For buyers who know they want something beyond the usual three sizes.

Choose the U5D if

  • You want more instrument than a standard U3
  • The room and the doorways can take a 68 cm deep case
  • You are willing to wait for the right example

Look at something else if

  • Your access has tight turns, where the depth becomes the problem
  • You want something easy to find and easy to resell
Sound and size

What The U5D Sounds Like

Full height bass with more body than the standard U3, helped by the deeper case. It is a substantial instrument in a way the dimensions only partly convey.

The U5 sits outside the main U1 to U3 progression. It comes up rarely, so if you want one specifically, expect to wait rather than choose.

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 68 cm
  • Access: Service lift

241 kg and 68 cm deep. Measure the narrowest turn on the route before committing. The case is 68 cm deep, which is more than most. Measure the doorway rather than assuming it will turn.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

Rarer models are harder to compare on price. Judge it on the rebuild and on how it plays rather than on what similar instruments sold for.

The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

For families not yet sure the lessons will stick. Rent a restored piano monthly, and if you keep it, everything paid comes off the price.

Questions

Yamaha U5D: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha U5D?

131 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 68 cm deep, and about 241 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a U5D fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 241 kg and 68 cm deep. Measure the narrowest turn on the route before committing. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.

Is a used U5D a safe buy?

Rarer models are harder to compare on price. Judge it on the rebuild and on how it plays rather than on what similar instruments sold for. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.

Can I rent a U5D instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a U5D specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a U5D 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 U5D need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do. We include the two tunings it needs after moving.
