Based on the design of, and built to the same standard as Yamaha’s workhorse U1 model, this model is not often seen in the US. Like the best U1 models, it has a clean, well-defined tone, a broad dynamic range, and a wonderfully responsive keyboard, allowing a new student many years of room to grow and develop as a musician. If you or your student’s abilities as a musician outgrow the capabilities of this piano, then it is likely that you will use our lifetime upgrade guarantee to trade up to a grand piano rather than another upright piano. Like every piano we sell, it carries our 10-year warranty on all parts and labor.
