The Yamaha U1 model is the world’s best-selling vertical piano model. Full-size Yamaha uprights, especially the U1 model,  are recommended by more teachers shopping for/with their students than all other pianos combined. With its well-defined bass, singing treble, and highly responsive keyboard, this impressive upright can serve your student’s needs with room to spare while still being sufficiently capable to meet the musical demands of more advanced pianists as well. As a bonus, this particular model includes a beautiful satin mahogany cabinet. This piano is in excellent condition inside and out. For the sake of comparison, the MSRP of a new Yamaha U1 with an ebony finish is currently $11,999, double the price of this piano. So, before you fork over a large chunk of your hard-earned money to buy an overpriced new piano, we recommend giving this piano a serious look.
