Yamaha U1 TA2 Upright Piano – c2020

This Yamaha U1 TA2 TransAcoustic upright piano was manufactured in circa 2020 and comes in the most desirable polished black finish. Combining the renowned musical qualities of Yamaha’s U Series with innovative TransAcoustic technology, it offers an exceptional balance of traditional piano playing and modern versatility.

The Yamaha U1 has long been one of the most respected upright pianos, admired for its consistency, reliability and excellent musical performance. At 121cm tall, it offers the tonal depth and responsive action expected of a high-quality professional upright, making it equally suitable for the home, teaching studio or more advanced pianist.

This particular example is in immaculate, virtually as-new condition throughout. Both the polished black cabinet and the instrument itself have been exceptionally well maintained, with little to distinguish it from a new piano.

Acoustically, it has a pleasing medium tone, beautifully balanced across the registers. The touch is equally well judged, offering a responsive, consistent action that allows the pianist excellent control over dynamics and expression. Whether practising delicate passages or exploring more demanding repertoire, it is a rewarding and reassuring instrument to play.

The integrated Yamaha TA2 TransAcoustic system adds another dimension to the playing experience. It allows the pianist to adjust the volume of the digital piano sound, which resonates through the piano’s own soundboard without external speakers. The silent function also enables private practice through headphones, making this an extremely versatile instrument for modern homes.

Our highly trained technicians have thoroughly prepared the piano and carefully calibrated its TransAcoustic system in our workshops, which are the largest and most advanced dedicated piano restoration facilities in the UK.
