Making the call

Is The UX Right For You?

Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.

Choose the UX if

  • The player is preparing for practical exams or teaches at home
  • You are setting up a studio or a teaching room
  • The bass on a smaller piano has started to sound thin to you

Look at something else if

  • There is no service lift and the piano has to go upstairs
  • The room is small, where a big instrument mostly produces reverberation
  • Nobody in the house plays beyond early grades yet
Sound and size

What The UX Sounds Like

This is as close as an upright gets to a grand in the bass. It also needs a room that can take that much sound. Same case as the Yamaha UX30A, 5 kg heavier.

Set against the Yamaha U1H, the most commonly sold used Yamaha here, it is 10 cm taller and 33 kg heavier. Near the top of the weight range, which runs from 180 kg up 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. 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

At 250 kg we want to see the route before quoting a staircase carry. The case is 65 cm deep, which is more than most. Measure the doorway rather than assuming it will turn.

Closest Alternatives To The UX

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 UX is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

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.

Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will.

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.

Where The UX Sits In The Range

X-braced backs and heavier build than the U line at the same height. More power than the dimensions suggest, and still an upright.

Questions

Yamaha UX: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha UX?

131 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 250 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a UX fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². At 250 kg we want to see the route before quoting a staircase carry. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.

Is a used UX a safe buy?

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. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.

Can I rent a UX instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a UX specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.

Do you have a UX in stock?

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

How often does a UX need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Keep it off an outside wall if you can, out of the sun, and away from the air conditioning. Those three things do more damage here than a child practising ever will. Two free tunings in the first fortnight come with the piano.
