131 cm, 254 kg, in a walnut wood grain cabinet rather than polished ebony. The heaviest Yamaha upright we list, and the one that looks least like a piano showroom.
Photos of the actual piano on request. Tell us your room and floor and we will say if it fits.

In the price, not added at the end.
Chosen as much for how it looks in the room as for how it plays.
Full height bass with the weight the 254 kg suggests. Wood grain cabinets are often chosen for rooms with soft furnishing, and this suits that setting rather than a bare tiled space.
The U7 is uncommon here. The walnut finish makes it a furniture decision as much as a musical one, and it will not match a room built around a black instrument.
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. Neither is better. Play both, which you can do on one floor at the shop.
254 kg and 68 cm deep. This is the heaviest upright in the Yamaha list and it needs a lift. The case is 68 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, U3F and 15 others. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the U7 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha U7 This model | 131 cm | 254 kg | 153 cm |
| Yamaha UX | 131 cm | 250 kg | 154 cm |
| Yamaha W102 | 131 cm | 250 kg | 153 cm |
| Yamaha U3A | 131 cm | 248 kg | 154 cm |
Matte wood grain finishes show scratches differently from polished ebony and are harder to restore invisibly. Inspect the case in daylight.
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.
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.
Yamaha's 131 cm upright. What teachers ask for, and what most exam candidates practise on at home.
131 cm tall, 153 cm wide, 68 cm deep, and about 254 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. 254 kg and 68 cm deep. This is the heaviest upright in the Yamaha list and it needs a lift. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.
Matte wood grain finishes show scratches differently from polished ebony and are harder to restore invisibly. Inspect the case in daylight. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a U7 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.
Ask, because it changes week to week. No stock today does not mean no stock next month. We watch for specific models.
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.
Stock changes weekly. Message us and we will tell you whether a U7 is on the floor, send photos and the serial number, and say if something else suits you better.
