Yamaha U3A Upright Piano – Fully Refurbished, Imported from Japan
The Yamaha U3A is the ultimate choice for pianists seeking a professional-quality upright piano. At 131cm tall, it delivers the richness and projection of a larger instrument while remaining compact enough to fit comfortably in homes, studios, and teaching spaces. Its longer strings and larger soundboard compared with the U1 series give it a fuller, more resonant tone, making it a favourite among serious students, teachers, and professional musicians.
Manufactured in 1985 by Yamaha in Japan, the U3A belongs to Yamaha’s renowned U-Series, celebrated for their durability, reliability, and expressive touch. This particular piano has been professionally inspected, regulated, and refurbished to ensure it performs at a high standard, with a polished black cabinet restoring its elegant, classic appearance.
