Yamaha U1M Upright Piano – Made in Japan | Fully Refurbished
The Yamaha U1M is a beloved classic from Yamaha’s renowned U Series, crafted in Japan during the brand’s golden era of piano manufacturing.
In Yamaha upright piano model names like U1H and U1M, the “U1” refers to the size and series of the piano (121cm professional upright), while the letter after it, such as H or M indicates the production series or generation from a particular manufacturing period.
U1H vs U1M
- U1H = Earlier model, generally produced around the early 1970s to early 1980s
- U1M = Later model, generally produced around the late 1970s to early/mid-1980s
The U1 model is widely regarded for its durability, refined tone, and responsive touch—qualities that have made it a staple in homes, schools, and studios around the world.
