The Yamaha YUS5 acoustic upright is a 52″ YUS Series piano in Polished Ebony, crafted in Kakegawa, Japan. It shares many features with Yamaha’s flagship CF Series concert pianos.

What Sets the YUS5 Apart

The YUS5 is the only YUS model with Ivorite white keys, and it adds a true sostenuto pedal along with a mute lever for quiet practice. Its hammers are redesigned from the CFX concert grand and mounted on walnut moldings. The solid spruce soundboard comes from the top ten percent of spruce selected at the Kitami Mill, with full-length spruce ribs set into a notched liner and Acoustibars for a big, resonant tone.

Built to Last

Five spruce back posts, a V-Pro frame and aluminum alloy action rails keep the YUS5 stable, and Tone Escapement gives it a controlled, expressive touch. Yamaha seasons this piano specifically for the U.S. market. It has a soft-close fallboard with lock, double-wheeled front casters and single-wheeled rear casters.
