Description

Yamaha U3

The Yamaha U3 Piano has been a long standing competitor in the piano business for decades. The design of this piano has stood the test of time and has won a large part of the esteemed reputation Yamaha Corp has earned. The 52″ Upright is a perfect size for the home, church, or studio space. Being one of the most popular pianos in the world we always carry a large stock of Yamaha U3’s ranging in age and use. As with any piano, each is slightly different from another. Although the action of the Yamaha piano is widely known for being exact across the board, the tone of each individual piano will cater to a different ear. We highly suggest that any buyer should visit our store to experience the uniqueness of each piano.

Rent a U3 piano starting at only $250 a month.

“Grey Market” Yamaha pianos

We do like to carry Yamaha pianos made and once sold in Japan. We have had only excellent experiences with them as well. We import not only Yamahas, but also Yamaha made pianos like Eterna. Also we import Kawai, and their other names like Diapason, and many more. If there was ever a problem with any of these pianos like The Yamaha Corp., likes to claim that there is, we would have stopped importing these fine instruments years ago. But instead Yamaha and their dealers like to distort the truth, because when it comes down to it, the biggest competition to Yamaha’s new piano sales is not just Kawai, but their own used pianos. Kawai has no problem with their used pianos made and once sold in Japan being sold in our shop along side with their own new pianos. They are confident in their new pianos, and we are too. The truth is these pianos (Yamaha, Kawai and their subsidiaries) are all made in air conditioned factories that set up each piano to withstand the extremes in climate from the dryness of the Arizona desert to the humidity of a New York summer. And being here in California, more specifically in the San Francisco bay area, we do not get much in the way of weather extremes. But still we encourage you to venture out on your own and research for yourself about what a grey market piano is. One place that everyone can start and is probably the most trusted of sources is “The Piano Book” by Larry Fine. Also there are plenty of websites as well. The bottom line is we are completely confident in ANY piano that we sell.

Is it OK to put a piano by a window?

Avoid placing a piano in front of a window Direct sunlight and exposure to temperature fluctuations or wind can damage your piano's finish, dry out the soundboard, and cause it to go out of tune more quickly.

If you’re thinking about buying a piano, you’re likely also thinking about where to put it. Maybe you already have a spot in mind, or perhaps you’re debating a few options. The placement of your piano in your home shouldn’t be an afterthought. Where it’s placed can impact how it sounds and what maintenance is required. There are several essential aspects to consider. Since pianos are made primarily of wood, they expand and contract with humidity. The air in our homes is less humid in the winter and more humid in the summer. This contraction is one of the reasons pianos need to be tuned and why they’re so sensitive to temperature and airflow.
