The UX-2 is 127 cm, six or so centimetres above the common size, and you hear it in the left hand.
Tell us the room, the floor and whether there is a lift. We will say whether this one works before you make the trip.

Both sides of it. If the right-hand column sounds like your situation, say so and we will point you elsewhere.
This is where the left hand starts getting proper support. Above middle C the difference is smaller than the height suggests. Against the Yamaha UX-3 it is 4 cm shorter and 9 kg lighter.
Set against the Yamaha U1H, the most commonly sold used Yamaha here, it is 6 cm taller and 16 kg heavier. Middling for weight in a range that spans 180 kg to 254 kg.
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. It is a preference, not a ranking. Come and sit at both.
233 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job. At 61 cm front to back it is one of the shallower cases in the range, which is worth knowing if the hallway it has to pass through is narrow.
Yamaha built several at 127 cm tall: the U2D, U2E, U2F, U2G and 2 others. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the UX-2 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha UX-2 This model | 127 cm | 233 kg | 154 cm |
| Yamaha U2D | 127 cm | 228 kg | 150 cm |
| Yamaha U2E | 127 cm | 228 kg | 150 cm |
| Yamaha U2F | 127 cm | 228 kg | 150 cm |
The risk with any used piano is buying somebody else's problem: polished case, fine for a month, then it will not hold a tuning. Ours are rebuilt twice before you see them, once in Japan and again in our own workshop here, and the second pass happens after the instrument has crossed the equator and shown us how it reacts to this climate.
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.
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.
X-braced backs and heavier build than the U line at the same height. More power than the dimensions suggest, and still an upright.
127 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 233 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 233 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job. Tell us the building and we will tell you whether this one can get in.
The risk with any used piano is buying somebody else's problem: polished case, fine for a month, then it will not hold a tuning. Ours are rebuilt twice before you see them, once in Japan and again in our own workshop here, and the second pass happens after the instrument has crossed the equator and shown us how it reacts to this climate. Five years of parts and labour cover comes with it, from the same people who rebuilt it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a UX-2 specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.
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. 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.
Stock changes weekly. Message us and we will tell you whether a UX-2 is on the floor, send photos and the serial number, and say if something else suits you better.
