Making the call

Is The YUS3 Right For You?

Worth reading the right-hand column properly. Most of the pianos that come back are access problems, not taste problems.

Choose the YUS3 if

  • You want the closest thing to a grand that still stands against a wall
  • There is a service lift, so the weight is not the problem
  • The player is preparing for practical exams or teaches at home

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 YUS3 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 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. 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 152 cm, depth 65 cm
  • Access: Service lift

247 kg. Fine with a service lift, a real piece of work without one. 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

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two YUS3s can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it.

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.

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 YUS3: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha YUS3?

131 cm tall, 152 cm wide, 65 cm deep, and about 247 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a YUS3 fit my place?

You need about 1.6 m of wall and roughly 1.1 m². 247 kg. Fine with a service lift, a real piece of work without one. Give us the measurements and the access and we will be straight about whether it works.

Is a used YUS3 a safe buy?

What you are buying is the rebuild, not the badge. Two YUS3s can be thousands of ringgit apart depending on what was replaced and how the last owner kept it. If something goes wrong in the first five years, it is our workshop that fixes it.

Can I rent a YUS3 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a YUS3 specifically. Ask what is free now. Buy the one you have been renting and the rent already paid comes off the price.

Do you have a YUS3 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. If we do not have one, we will say so and tell you what is close on size and weight.

How often does a YUS3 need tuning in Malaysia?

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.
