2004 Yamaha U3 – 52” Professional Upright
This is a 2004 Yamaha U3, the tallest and most powerful model in Yamaha’s professional upright line. At 52” in height, the U3 offers a rich, resonant tone and wide dynamic range, making it a favorite among professional pianists, teachers, and institutions worldwide.
Renowned for its durability, clear projection, and responsive touch, the U3 is often considered the gold standard for upright pianos—an instrument that rivals the tonal depth of many baby grands while taking up significantly less space. Finished in polished ebony, this U3 has been well maintained and is in excellent condition.

Solid spruce soundboard for resonance and sustain
Precision Yamaha action for consistent responsiveness

Refurbishing & Final Prep:
This piano was professionally refurbished in Japan to an exceptionally high standard, with action work, hammer shaping, string cleaning, and cabinet detailing all handled by a top-tier facility in Hamamatsu. This level of care is part of why we source directly from Japan—it sets a strong foundation.
Once the piano arrives in Seattle, we take that work a step further. Every piano is inspected, regulated, and voiced in our shop to bring it to the highest standard possible. This final stage ensures a consistent, expressive touch and a balanced tone that performs beautifully across all registers.
