Making the call

Is The YUS Right For You?

Both sides of it. If the right-hand column sounds like your situation, say so and we will point you elsewhere.

Choose the YUS if

  • A child is starting lessons and will be at it for years
  • You want a piano that sounds properly like one without taking over the room
  • A teacher said a real acoustic, and did not specify a size

Look at something else if

  • A teacher has specifically asked for a full-height instrument
  • The room is large and hard-surfaced, where a taller piano would carry better
Sound and size

What The YUS Sounds Like

Middle register is where these live, and it is good. The lowest octave is adequate rather than a selling point. Against the Yamaha YUX it is 10 cm shorter and 22 kg lighter.

Set against the Yamaha U1H, the most commonly sold used Yamaha here, it is 1 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. 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 1.5 m of wall
  • Floor: roughly 1.0 m²
  • Case width 150 cm, depth 61 cm
  • Access: Lift preferred

At 218 kg it is an ordinary move. Lift, fine. Stairs, tell us how many and which way they turn. 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.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two YUSs can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it.

Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it.

Our rent-to-own programme

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.

Questions

Yamaha YUS: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha YUS?

121 cm tall, 150 cm wide, 61 cm deep, and about 218 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a YUS fit my place?

You need about 1.5 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². At 218 kg it is an ordinary move. Lift, fine. Stairs, tell us how many and which way they turn. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.

Is a used YUS a safe buy?

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two YUSs can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it. Five years of parts and labour cover comes with it, from the same people who rebuilt it.

Can I rent a YUS instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a YUS specifically. Ask what is free now. The rent turns into credit the moment you decide to buy it.

Do you have a YUS in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. No stock today does not mean no stock next month. We watch for specific models.

How often does a YUS need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. Humidity decides how a piano ages here. These were built for a climate with a winter, and in Malaysia the soundboard takes up moisture and gives it back, week after week. That movement pulls a piano out of tune, not playing it. Two tunings after delivery are included when you buy from us.
