Description
This Yamaha U1 has been freshly refurbished to near like new condition, which offers customers the best value when buying a used piano. Refurbished U1’s will cosmetically look like new. The internal mechanisms have been gone through and put back to factory specification either by adjustments or by replacing worn parts. Think about this…an acoustic piano’s action alone contains about 8000 parts, many of which wear and deteriorate over time. The DoReMi factory is located in Hamamatsu City, Japan and houses the most modern machinery and tooling available. In addition, their technicians and craftspeople (most of whom come to us from the production lines of the two best Japanese piano manufactures) are among the most skilled and experienced in the piano industry. Yamaha U1 and U3 pianos are the most popular of all the studio pianos purchased in the United States as well as Japan. ALL Yamaha U1’s are made in Hamamatsu, Japan. (Other variations like the T1, B1, M1, etc are made in other countries and are not famous for the quality that the made in Japan U1 offers).

We focus only on the best U1’s to be found on the market. They are always in EXCELLENT like new mint condition!

Why buy a used piano??? Last year in the United States there were an estimated over 1 million pianos sold, roughly 20,000 were new, and the remainder of over 980,000 were used. It’s hard to compare a used piano to buying a used car or a used computer or almost anything else used. If you don’t normally buy things used, there are lots of good reasons to buy a high quality used piano like the Yamaha U1. Here are just a few:
- a high quality piano’s soundboard improves with age
- a new piano’s tone doesn’t start to mature until it’s five to ten years old
- a new piano’s action can take a few years to break in
- a well cared for top brand piano like the U1 is virtually like buying new but for much less
- Yamaha U1 pianos are designed and built to last 100+ years
- We’ve been in business since 1988 and have sold an incredible amount of gently played refurbished Yamaha U-Series upright and C-series grand pianos,. They are an amazing-awesome-top quality brand of piano and we are so confident that you are buying a solid piano that we stand behind it with our 5 year warranty!
