Introducing the Yamaha YUS Series 

Built on the same frames as the perenially popular, world famious Yamaha U Series uprights, the YUS series is designed for the more discerning musician and delivers a whole new level of refinement. A range of three models, from the 121cm tall YUS1 to the 131cm tall top of the range YUS5, each YUS Series model provides a rich tonal palette, reminiscent of the flagship Yamaha CFX concert grand and SU7 upright, capable of communicating every nuance of the pianists performance. Crafted at Yamaha's concert grand manufacturing facility in Hamamatsu Japan, each YUS Series piano is created from specially selected materials by time served artisan craftsmen, with uncompromising quality and refinement at the very heart of the process.

Each model is available with Silent and TransAcoustic technology, enabling private practice at any hour, along with MIDI connectivity and many other useful features. YUS1 is also available as a Disklavier, self-playing piano.

Yamaha YUS1 upright piano

Built on the same frame as the incredibly popular Yamaha U1 upright, measuring 121cm tall, the YUS1 upright takes this proven recipe and improves upon it hugely. Improved component and material quality includes hand-spun bass strings, a more mature spruce for the soundboard and mahogany hammers with a more refined lambs wool covering. This, encased in an elegant cabinet with clean lines and soft closing fallboard which retracts into the piano to not spoil the aesthetic, makes for a mature and resonant instrument, certain to meet the demands of advanced professional and home pianists alike.

Key features:

• 121cm tall 
• Traditional style cabinetry with brass fittings & castors
• Extra long music desk with leather lining
• SU7 hammer felt
• Hand-spun bass strings
• Soft close, locking fallboard
• 88 keys and 3 pedals incuding celeste for quiet practice
• Available in polished ebony, polished mahogany, polished white and satin American walnut

Yamaha YUS3 upright piano

In a similar vein to the YUS1 and U1 uprights, the YUS3 improves enormously on the refinement and overall resonance of the U3S, the industry standard upright piano for practice and performance. The improved component quality and maturity of soundboard in an instrument of this size results in a marked difference in tonality and control, a beautifully balanced sound reminiscent of a small grand piano. A sostenuto pedal instead of the celeste pedal found on the smaller U1 gives the YUS3 the same pedals as found on a Yamaha grand piano.

Key features:

• 131cm tall
• Traditional style cabinetry with brass fittings & castors
• Extra long music desk with leather lining
• SU7 hammer felt
• Hand-spun bass strings
• Soft close, locking fallboard
• 88 keys and 3 pedals including sostenuto
• Available in polished ebony and polished white finishes

Yamaha YUS5 upright piano

Sitting at the top of the YUS Series, the YUS5 is a firm Chamberlain Pianos favourite and one we always try to have in stock and ready for selection. Built on the same 131cm frame as the YUS3, the YUS5 benefits from the same improved component quality, with mahogany hammer cores, refined lambs wool hammer felt and a mature solid spruce soundboard. Enhanced features over the YUS3 include the same key coverings as the CX Series grand pianos - synthetic ivory 'Ivorite' naturals and wood composite (WPC) sharps, providing a greater level of grip and control. The styling is different too, a grander console style design with an opening front panel to enhance sound projection, also doubling up as a tilting music desk. A sostenuto pedal affords the pianist the same pedal mechanisms as a Yamaha grand piano, while the piano also benefits from a lever operated celeste mechanism to enable quieter practice. 

Key features:

• 131cm tall
• Traditional style cabinetry with brass fittings & castors
• Opening front panel for enhanced tonal projection
• Tilting music desk with mahogany veneer accents
  
• SU7 hammer felt
• Hand-spun bass strings
• Soft close, locking fallboard
• 88 keys and 3 pedals including sostenuto
• Lever operated celeste mechanism
• Available in polished ebony & polished white finishes
