If you are new to the world of pianos, the Yamaha U1 is the best-selling and most teacher-recommended piano model ever made. We have them in stock every day of the year; most are polished ebony, which makes this polished mahogany U1 a welcome addition to our shop. This piano is all original and in gently used condition inside, including the original Yamaha hammers and action parts, which reveal barely any wear at all. Large Yamaha uprights like this are tough to keep in stock due to piano teachers, who often help their students choose a piano and recommend this model more than any other vertical model, with the possible exception of the larger Yamaha U3. These professional uprights combine high performance and an affordable price for a value that is hard to beat. We go out of our way to get them as often as we can, but the demand is high and we often sell them as fast as we can set them up on the floor, and put them on our website. Like all of our inventory, the price includes our 10-year warranty on all parts and labor, as well as our unbeatable lifetime upgrade guarantee. Why buy new?
