1988 Yamaha UX3 – 52” Professional X-Series Upright
This is a 1988 Yamaha UX3, a flagship professional upright from Yamaha’s elite X-Series. Designed to deliver exceptional power, sustain, and tonal depth, the UX3 stands at a full 52” and incorporates Yamaha’s renowned X-braced back construction, a feature reserved for their highest-level uprights. This reinforced design allows the soundboard to resonate more freely, producing greater projection and a more complex tonal palette.
Built in Japan, the UX3 is widely regarded as one of the finest uprights Yamaha has ever produced. It offers a commanding bass, a clear, singing treble, and a highly responsive action that supports nuanced control and expressive playing. Finished in classic Ebony Polish, this piano combines concert-level performance with timeless elegance.
