Thanks to a comprehensive redesign, the Yamaha U3 Upright Piano remains not only a world-standard instruments, but is also better than ever, with numerous advances in materials and construction.
Refined scale designs and components improve tonal performance. Extra-wide music desks provide plenty of room for sheet music. The top-of-the-line sets extraordinary standards of elegance and excellence, incorporating concepts adapted from Yamaha grand pianos. For the new U3 Yamaha use V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) in casting the iron frame (plate). V-Pro plates are stronger and visually more appealing. Critical dimensions are produced more accurately than before. Furthermore, Yamaha engineering developed a unique Extruded Aluminium Alloy Action Rail (bearing a Yamaha patent) that is one of the best innovations for improving a piano action in the last 100 years. The usual fluctuations in wood rails that effect touch, caused by periodic weather changes, are eliminated allowing stable, long-lasting action regulation. In addition Yamaha have reinforced the crown in its soundboards by using ribs that continue to the edge of the soundboard, and are glued into the notched liner (or inner rim on the grand piano). Reinforcing the crown ensures that the tone quality will remain for years and years and improves tuning stability. Yamaha uses Spruce for the keys on all models of pianos. Spruce is very light and possesses a very high ratio of strength to weight. It is ideal for key construction, even though its cost is greater than either sugar pine or bass wood. Yamaha keyboards respond quickly providing fast repetition for the most intricate piece of music. In particular, the U3’s height is a very healthy 131cm tall. A taller piano is also able to house a not only longer strings but also a larger soundboard which again is good for producing good tone quality, and in fact the U3 possess longer bass strings than a standard baby grand!
The U3 Upright piano is best suited for anyone who wants an enjoyable musical experience whilst practising and a reliable piano that won’t let them down, particularly the experienced pianist and professional musician, with its outstanding tone, touch and durability.
