To borrow from film terminology, this model is like a Technicolor, 70 mm Panavision version of the U1 model, with a vividly colorful tone, barrel-chested bass, huge dynamic range, front panel sound vents, and a perfectly weighted and super-responsive keyboard. It is also one of Yamaha’s famous “X” models with a radial back post design. This model was designed for the demanding professional pianist or teacher who wants a grand but needs an upright. This piano is in mint condition inside and out with decades of healthy life ahead of it. With pianos like this available at our shop, all covered by our 10-year warranty and including our lifetime upgrade guarantee, there’s no reason to break the bank to buy an overpriced new piano.
