Yamaha U1 Upright Piano | Polished Ebony

Advanced Scale Design

Refinements in all elements of sound production have given today’s U series a richer , more resonant voice with evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.

Soundboard and Frame

Special rib configurations add strength to the soundboard, while back post and other advances further enhance rigidity, resonance and structural stability.

The Soundboard has an area of 2137 Square inches of solid spruce with notched ribs to add strength and increase resonance.

Redesigned Hammers

Yamaha U Series hammers use materials specifically selected for each model to provide optimum tone production, response and long-term durability.

The under felted hammer is made in house and has a hammer weight of 22 pounds.  The tonal felt is fastened and glued to ensure a long lasting life.

Soft-Close Fallboard

A damping mechanism, formerly used only in grand pianos, prevents the fallboard from dropping abruptly onto the keyboard, guarding against accidental injury or damage.
