Making the call

Is The UX30B1 Right For You?

The honest version. We would rather talk you out of the wrong piano than deliver it and hear about it later.

Choose the UX30B1 if

The bass on a smaller piano has started to sound thin to you
You have the floor space and the access to take a large upright
You want the closest thing to a grand that still stands against a wall

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 UX30B1 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.

Set against the Yamaha U1H, the most commonly sold used Yamaha here, it is 10 cm taller and 25 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

242 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job. The case is 65 cm deep, which is more than most. Measure the doorway rather than assuming it will turn.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

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.

Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it.

Where The UX30B1 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 UX30B1: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha UX30B1?

131 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 242 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a UX30B1 fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 242 kg is getting heavy. In a lift it is routine, up a staircase it becomes a planned job. Send the room size, the floor and whether there is a service lift, and we will tell you before you travel.

Is a used UX30B1 a safe buy?

Can I rent a UX30B1 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a UX30B1 specifically. Ask what is free now. Rent for six months, buy it, and those six months come off the price.

Do you have a UX30B1 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. When we are out, we say so rather than steer you into whatever is on the floor.

How often does a UX30B1 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Tune it twice a year. Not because it gets played hard, but because the soundboard moves with the weather and takes the tuning with it. The first two tunings are on us, once it has settled in.
