Second Hand Yamaha U1 Upright Piano in Polished Black; Circa 1981
This Yamaha U1 from 1981 shows the consistent quality that has made this model a worldwide standard. With its characteristically clear tone and precise action, this instrument offers professional performance that has stood the test of time.
Our workshop team has given this U1 thorough attention, ensuring it meets our standards for pre-owned instruments. The action has been regulated for even touch, hammers voiced for balanced tone, and the piano tuned to concert pitch. The polished black cabinet has been carefully restored to maintain its classic appearance.
Yamaha U1 Legacy:
Since its introduction in 1961, the Yamaha U1 has set the standard for professional upright pianos. This 1970 example represents the middle period of U1 production, when Yamaha's reputation for consistency and reliability was firmly established. The U1 remains one of the most recognised and respected upright pianos globally.
Optimal Proportions:
The U1's 121cm height strikes an ideal balance between tonal richness and practical size. At 153cm wide and 61cm deep, the piano provides substantial soundboard area while fitting comfortably in most domestic settings. These proportions have been refined over decades to deliver maximum musical value.
Distinctive Voice:
Yamaha U1 pianos are celebrated for their clear, projecting tone that remains balanced across the entire keyboard. The bass registers offer warmth without boominess, the middle voice sings expressively, and the treble maintains clarity even at dynamic extremes. This tonal character makes the U1 versatile across musical genres.
Precision Engineering:
Yamaha's action design represents decades of refinement. Each of the 88 keys responds with consistent touch weight and repetition capability. Our technicians have ensured this action performs to professional standards, providing the control and responsiveness that advancing pianists require.
Durability Through Design:
The U1's construction emphasizes longevity. Quality materials including solid spruce soundboards, durable hammer felts, and robust structural components ensure that these pianos maintain their performance characteristics over many decades. This 50-year-old example demonstrates that durability.
Timeless Aesthetic:
The polished black finish presents a sophisticated, professional appearance that remains appropriate in any setting.
Proven Performance:
Music educators, professional pianists, and discerning amateurs have chosen the U1 for generations. Its reputation for reliability and musical satisfaction is well-earned. This example, having received our comprehensive preparation, is ready to provide years of musical enjoyment.
