A serious upright at 131 cm. It will not be outgrown, which is the point of buying one.
Send the room size and which floor it is going to. If it will not fit, we would rather tell you now than on delivery day.
Yamaha
In the price, not added at the end.
Read both. The second list is the one that saves people money.
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.
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.
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 YUA is not on the floor when you ask, the table below is where we would send you next.
| Model | Height | Weight | Width |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yamaha YUA This model | 131 cm | 247 kg | 154 cm |
| Yamaha YUS3 | 131 cm | 247 kg | 152 cm |
| Yamaha U3A | 131 cm | 248 kg | 154 cm |
| Yamaha U3D | 131 cm | 248 kg | 154 cm |
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.
Renting first is the low-risk way in. Nothing you pay is wasted, because it counts toward buying the piano later.
A later domestic series replacing the U numbering. YUS and YUA sit at the top of the range.
131 cm tall, 154 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 247 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.
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.
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.
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.
Ask, because it changes week to week. If nothing suits, we will tell you that too.
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.
One message and we will tell you what we have, what it costs, and whether the YUA is really the right size for your room.
