Yamaha YUX ‘AdSilent’ Upright Piano – c1980

This Yamaha YUX AdSilent upright piano dates from around 1980 and comes in the highly popular polished black cabinet. Its full-sized proportions make it an excellent choice for pianists seeking a substantial Yamaha upright for regular practice and teaching. It also provides the musical scope required for more advanced repertoire and continued development.

Standing 131 cm tall, the YUX shares similar dimensions with Yamaha’s well-known U3 upright piano. Its substantial cabinet provides the proportions and presence associated with a professional-sized upright. As a result, the YUX suits committed pianists who want a serious acoustic instrument without requiring the additional space of a grand piano.

The polished black cabinet lends this example a timeless, understated appearance. Its classic finish works particularly well within both traditional and contemporary interiors. The combination of substantial proportions and elegant styling also gives the piano an impressive presence within a dedicated music room or living space.

The fitted AdSilent system adds considerable flexibility to this traditional acoustic instrument. Players can practise privately through headphones while continuing to use the piano’s acoustic action. This makes the YUX particularly practical for households where evening practice or playing at other sensitive times could disturb others. You can therefore enjoy the piano acoustically when appropriate and switch to headphone practice whenever you need greater privacy.

Combining a full-sized Yamaha upright with the convenience of private headphone practice, this YUX AdSilent offers considerable versatility. It would suit a committed pianist, family, or teaching environment seeking one instrument for both acoustic and silent playing. For buyers who value substantial proportions alongside everyday practicality, this YUX provides an appealing alternative to a conventional acoustic upright.
