121 cm tall and 225 kg. For a flat or a modest house this is usually the sensible answer.
Photos of the actual piano on request. Tell us your room and floor and we will say if it fits.
Yamaha
In the price, not added at the end.
Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.
It sounds like a piano rather than a small piano, which is not true of everything in this height class. Same case as the Yamaha UX-1, 6 kg heavier.
Set against the Yamaha U1H, the most commonly sold used Yamaha here, it is 8 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.
225 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. 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 121 cm tall: the U1A, U1D, U1E, U1F and 8 others. They differ in weight and case rather than in size. If the UX10B1 is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha UX10B1 This model | 121 cm | 225 kg | 150 cm |
| Yamaha W103 | 121 cm | 225 kg | 151 cm |
| Yamaha UX-1 | 121 cm | 219 kg | 150 cm |
| Yamaha U1A | 121 cm | 218 kg | 150 cm |
A used piano is only as good as the work done to it. Strings and dampers replaced where needed, hammers reshaped or renewed, the action regulated until repetition is even, pedal linkages set, case refinished. Then it is tuned and left to settle.
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.
If you are not ready to commit, rent one by the month. Decide to keep it and the rent you have paid comes off the purchase 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.
121 cm tall, 150 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 225 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
You need about 1.5 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². 225 kg is normal for this size. Access matters more than the number does. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.
A used piano is only as good as the work done to it. Strings and dampers replaced where needed, hammers reshaped or renewed, the action regulated until repetition is even, pedal linkages set, case refinished. Then it is tuned and left to settle. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.
Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a UX10B1 specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.
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. 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.
Ask what is actually in the shop today. We will send photos of the specific piano, tell you what was replaced in the rebuild, and be honest if another model fits you better.
