Serial Number: 6194441 (Japan Market). (Current YUS3 Silent Pricing). We’re incredibly excited to offer this Yamaha YUS3 Silent upright, an instrument that represents the pinnacle of Yamaha’s upright piano craftsmanship. The YUS3 – A Step Above the U3. We are accustomed to the highly regarded Yamaha U3, a piano that has long been praised for its consistency, tone, and reliability. However, in Japan, where space is limited, there is a strong demand for concert-level upright pianos that can satisfy even the most discerning pianists. The YUS Series was designed to meet this need, offering an unparalleled level of refinement, materials, and tonal depth that surpasses the U3. The YUS3 builds upon the U3’s foundation but elevates every aspect of its design, making it one of the finest upright pianos available. Superior Tonewoods – The soundboard is crafted from high-grade spruce, the same quality used in Yamaha’s high-end grands, ensuring a rich, resonant tone. Premium Hammers – The YUS Series utilizes Weikert felt hammers, the same felt used in Yamaha’s handcrafted grands, for improved dynamic control and tonal warmth. Enhanced Scale Design – The YUS3 benefits from refined scaling and upgraded stringing, delivering improved sustain and a balanced, full-bodied sound. Hand-Voiced and Hand-Regulated – Every YUS Series piano undergoes additional hand-voicing and fine regulation by Yamaha’s top artisans for an even more refined playing experience. Factory-Installed Yamaha Silent System. This YUS3 is equipped with Yamaha’s factory-installed Silent System, allowing you to mute the acoustic sound and play with headphones using a high-quality digital piano engine. Play Anytime, Day or Night – Perfect for apartments, shared spaces, or late-night practice. Real Grand Expression Modeling – Yamaha’s Silent System uses advanced technology to recreate the natural resonance and response of an acoustic piano. MIDI & USB Connectivity – Connect to external devices for recording, composing, or playing with virtual instruments. Layered Sound with Headphones – Experience a full stereo piano sound through headphones, capturing the nuances of an acoustic piano with no external noise disturbance.
