YAMAHA YUS3

A Step Above the U3 – Richer Tone, Enhanced Refinement

The Yamaha YUS3 is a premium alternative to the U3, built with upgraded materials and YUS-series hammers that give the piano a more refined tonal character and greater dynamic responsiveness. With its full 52" cabinet, the YUS3 delivers grand-like power and projection while retaining a tight and responsive action that makes it ideal for expressive players.

This 2008 model is a clean, well-preserved example from Yamaha’s modern production era in Japan, offering concert-level tone in a compact and reliable upright format.

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.
