This piano was originally built in Yamaha’s flagship Hamamatsu factory in 1984 and has been completely factory reconditioned in Japan in 2026. It has been meticulously overhauled internally, tuned, regulated, and voiced to deliver peak performance and is ready to delight its next owner. We have a regular supply of these superb U1 and U3 pianos from Japan - please get in touch for more details on the reconditioning process.
Widely regarded as the benchmark modern upright piano, the Yamaha U1 is celebrated for its smooth, highly responsive action and its rich and resonant tone. Whether you’re a professional musician, a passionate amateur, or a fortunate beginner, this carefully reconditioned instrument offers an inspiring playing experience that will last for many years to come.
