Introducing the reconditioned Yamaha U1H upright piano c.1972

Yamaha ‘U’ series pianos have long been the preferred choice of professionals and discerning amateur pianists. Manufactured in Japan since the early 1950’s and still in production today, Yamaha’s U series upright has become the instrument against which all other uprights are compared, and a reconditioned example is a superb value way of owning one of these beautifully built instruments.

This example of the Yamaha U1H was manufactured in c.1972 and reconditioned some 5 years ago, having been privately owned since and recently part exchanged. As part of its reconditioning, all the perishable parts have been replaced and a soft-closing fallboard mechanism installed, making it an ideal choice for the home or school practice room.

With a responsive, medium weight touch and a well balanced tone, this previously reconditioned U1 is worth comparing against our range new Yamaha b series uprights and Certified Reconditioned Yamaha U1 uprights. Its elegant polished black cabinetry is in fine order, just prepared by our house polisher and one could be forgiven for thinking it were a much more recent instrument!
