The Yamaha U1 model is the world’s best-selling vertical piano model. 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. Full-size Yamaha uprights like the U1 and larger U3 are requested by more teachers shopping for/with their students than all other pianos combined. This piano is in excellent condition inside and out. The MSRP of a new Yamaha U1 with an ebony cabinet is currently $11,999, nearly double the price of this one. 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.
