Making the call

Is The YUA Right For You?

Read both. The second list is the one that saves people money.

Choose the YUA if

  • You want the closest thing to a grand that still stands against a wall
  • The bass on a smaller piano has started to sound thin to you
  • You are setting up a studio or a teaching room

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 YUA Sounds Like

The low register has real weight to it. Played hard it stays musical instead of turning percussive.

Set against the Yamaha U1H, the most commonly sold used Yamaha here, it is 10 cm taller and 30 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. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and twenty minutes at the shop settles it faster than any description.

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

247 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

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the YUA you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included.

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.

Our rent-to-own programme

Rent First. The Rent Becomes Credit.

Renting first is the low-risk way in. Nothing you pay is wasted, because it counts toward buying the piano later.

Questions

Yamaha YUA: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha YUA?

131 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 247 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a YUA fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 247 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.

Is a used YUA a safe buy?

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the YUA you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.

Can I rent a YUA instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a YUA specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a YUA in stock?

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

How often does a YUA need tuning in Malaysia?

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.
