Key Features

  • Solid Spruce Soundboard and Ribs: The choice of solid spruce, a tonewood known for its excellent vibrational properties, ensures a superior amplitude and quality of sound. The ribs, also made from spruce, contribute to the piano's structural integrity and acoustic performance, supporting the soundboard's crown and enhancing tonal resonance over the years.
  • Full Length Ribs into a Notched Liner: This construction detail significantly improves the tuning stability and integrity of the instrument by ensuring a close adherence of the ribs to the soundboard, maintaining the acoustic crown, and transmitting sound vibrations more efficiently.
  • V-Pro Vacuum Shield Mold Process Plate: Developed by Yamaha, the V-Pro plate casting technology enhances the structural strength and visual elegance of the piano's iron frame, assuring consistent, precision-crafted dimensions that contribute to tuning stability and longevity.
  • Yamaha Balanced Action: Each key is individually tested and adjusted for uniform down-weight pressure, ensuring a responsive and balanced touch across the entire keyboard, which is essential for expressive performance and can withstand years of intense playing.
  • Seasoned for Destination: Yamaha takes the additional step of seasoning each piano for the specific market it is destined for, optimizing the tuning stability, musical integrity, and finish to suit local climates and keeping the piano sounding its best through varying environmental changes.
  • Spruce Keys with Hardwood Buttons: The use of spruce, a strong yet lightweight material, for the keys coupled with durable hardwood buttons, offers a swift and sturdy mechanical action that enables fast repetition and nuanced control perfect for both professional and home pianists.
  • Grand Piano Key Travel: Yamaha designs its upright pianos to have the same key travel as their grand pianos, providing a consistent and familiar touch that is particularly valuable for advanced players practicing on an upright piano who also perform on grand pianos.
  • Aluminum Alloy Action Rails: Yamaha's patented action rail design made from extruded aluminum alloy combats the issues typically caused by changes in temperature and humidity, leading to a more stable and long-lasting action regulation.
  • Designed Hammers with T-fasteners: The hammers are crafted to enhance the Yamaha piano tone and longevity, endowed with T-fasteners that secure the hammers to the action, preventing slipping and twisting over time and use.
  • Sostenuto Pedal and Mute Lever: The sostenuto pedal, found on grand pianos and few uprights, adds depth to the pianist's expression by allowing selective sustain of notes, while the mute lever provides a quieter practice option without compromising quality.
  • Beveled Music Rack: A small yet practical design detail that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the piano but also increases the functionality for pianists who frequently read sheet music.
  • Cut Thread Tuning Pins: These tuning pins are carefully designed and manufactured to hold the strings at the desired tension accurately, supporting stable tuning, an aspect critical for performance and longevity of the piano.
  • Polished Ebony Finish: The classic polished ebony finish gives the Yamaha upright YUS Series pianos a timeless elegance, allowing the instrument to fit beautifully into a wide variety of interior spaces.
