Thanks to comprehensive redesign, these world-standard instruments are better than ever, with numerous advances in materials and construction. Refined scale designs and components improve tonal performance, while other modifications enhance strength and durability. Extra-wide music desks provide plenty of room for sheet music. And the top-of-the-line sets extraordinary standard of elegance and excellence, incorporating concepts adapted from Yamaha grand pianos.

Advanced Scale Design

Refinements in all elements of sound production have given today's U series a richer, more resonant voice with evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.

Soundboard and Frame

Special lib configurations add strength to the soundboard, while back post and other advances further enhance rigidity, resonance and structural stability.

Redesigned Hammers

U Series hammers use materials specifically selected for each model to provide optimum ton production, response and long-term durability.

Soft-Close Fallboard

A damping mechanism, formerly used only in grand pianos, prevents the fallboard from dropping abruptly onto the keyboard, guarding against accidental injury or damage.
