YAMAHA YUS5 Top Tier Upright

We’re proud to offer this Yamaha YUS5, the flagship model of Yamaha’s YUS Series, designed to deliver concert-level performance in an upright form.

The YUS5 – Yamaha’s Premier Production Upright

The YUS Series represents the pinnacle of Yamaha’s upright piano craftsmanship, offering upgrades in materials, design, and refinement beyond the already well-respected U Series.
The YUS5 is the top model in this line, featuring premium tonewoods, hand-selected hammers, and elegant cabinetry, making it an ideal choice for serious pianists, educators, and professionals.

While space constraints in Japan have driven the demand for high-end upright pianos, Yamaha designed the YUS5 to deliver a level of responsiveness, tonal depth, and dynamic range that rivals many small grands.

What Makes the YUS5 Special?

✅ Hand-Selected Spruce Soundboard – Crafted from the finest spruce, the soundboard is carefully aged for optimal resonance and sustain.
✅ Premium Grand Piano-Quality Hammers – The YUS5 features Yamaha’s top-tier Weikert felt hammers, offering richer tonal colors and enhanced dynamic control.
✅ Ivorite & Wood Composite Keytops – The YUS5 has Ivorite® keytops, mimicking the feel and texture of ivory for superior touch and control.
✅ Soft-Close Fallboard – A slow-fall key cover ensures a smooth and controlled closing motion, adding a touch of elegance.
✅ Elegant Cabinet with Sostenuto Pedal – The cabinet design and hardware details bring a grand piano aesthetic to an upright. Unlike most uprights, the YUS5 includes a sostenuto pedal, an important feature for more advanced repertoire.

A Professional-Grade Upright in Like-New Condition

✅ Pristine Cabinet Condition – The polished ebony finish is in showroom condition, making this piano indistinguishable from a new model.
✅ Flawless Action & Interior Components – The action and key mechanism are in outstanding shape, ensuring decades of reliable performance.
✅ Concert-Level Tone & Clarity – With its high-end components, premium materials, and meticulous craftsmanship, the YUS5 delivers a warm, complex tone with incredible projection.

If you’re looking for one of the finest upright pianos Yamaha has ever built, this YUS5 is an unbeatable choice.
