The Yamaha YUS1 48″ Upright Professional Collection Piano is a high-end acoustic piano that delivers a rich, resonant tone in a smaller footprint than a grand piano. It is a refined version of the classic Yamaha U1, built with many of the same materials and meticulous craftsmanship found in Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand pianos. This makes it a popular choice for professional musicians, experienced pianists, and discerning amateurs who want the highest possible quality in an upright piano.
Features
Premium craftsmanship: The YUS1 is handcrafted in Japan at Yamaha’s Kakegawa factory, the same facility that produces their CF series concert grands.
High-quality materials: It uses premium components similar to those in concert grand pianos, including:
Soundboard: Made from hand-selected, solid spruce from Yamaha’s Kitami Mill in Hokkaido, Japan.
Hammers: Feature the same felt as the flagship CFX concert grand for a wider dynamic range and greater tonal color.
Strings: Hand-wound European copper bass strings provide enhanced resonance and a richer, rounder bass tone.
Improved sound projection: A tone escapement system allows sound to project more directly towards the pianist, enhancing the playing experience.
Superior action and keys: Master technicians regulate the action for an ultra-responsive touch. The keys are made of seasoned spruce with Acrypet™ (white) and Phenolic Resin (black) keytops.
Elegant construction: The cabinet has a simple, elegant design that enhances its acoustics. It features a soft-close fallboard for safety and convenience.
Durable frame: A V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) plate and aluminum alloy action rails help ensure tuning stability and structural integrity over time.
