Yamaha U1 ‘Silent’ Upright Piano – c2017

This Yamaha U1 Silent upright piano was built in circa 2017 and comes in the highly popular polished black cabinet. The U1 has long been one of Yamaha’s best-known upright models, combining a practical 121cm cabinet with the assured performance expected from a high-quality professional upright.

The piano has been thoroughly prepared in our workshops. All casework has been attended to, the brasswork has been refinished, and the instrument has received a full internal clean and service. The action has also been regulated and the piano tuned, ensuring it is properly prepared for its next owner.

The U1 is particularly well suited to both serious home practice and accomplished playing, with a responsive, consistent action that gives the pianist good control throughout the keyboard. Its 121cm height gives it a substantial acoustic presence without requiring the additional space of Yamaha’s larger U3.

This example is also fitted with a Silent system, allowing private practice through headphones while retaining the acoustic piano experience. It is a particularly useful feature for households where playing at different times of day needs to be accommodated without compromising the experience of owning a traditional acoustic piano.

With its combination of Yamaha U1 build quality, Silent functionality and freshly prepared polished black cabinet, this is an appealing choice for anyone looking for a modern, versatile upright piano for regular home use.
