Yamaha U1 Kaiser Modern Upright Piano Professional Level
Welcome to Berries Barn Pianos – specialising in high quality modern pianos, fully serviced or refurbished, tuned and carefully delivered to their new homes.
Make no mistake – this is a genuine Japanese Yamaha U1 made in their Hamamatsu factory, branded Kaiser. In the 1970s & 80s Yamaha used the Kaiser name for some European exports as they had not yet achieved their well deserved exceptional reputation and Germanic sounding names were sometimes more sought after. The action and hammers are marked Yamaha and Nippon Gakki can be seen cast into the frame. In 1887 Mr Yamaha founded Nippon Gakki Co.Ltd. = The Japan Instrument Co.Ltd. Yamaha remained the brand name and in 1987 the company name was changed to Yamaha Corporation to mark the 100th anniversary of the firm. This is a late 1970s / early 1980s model which has been very well looked after and played regularly but not heavily. This is an excellent quality piano that would suit a professional musician, advanced pianist, teacher or a serious amateur or perhaps a very lucky beginner! It has been fully serviced, tuned and regulated and is now ready for its next home, with a lifetime of music to give.
Tone and tuning
Very big, rich and bright tone, and a great dynamic range. It has just been tuned to concert pitch (A=440). This piano includes the middle ‘celeste’ pedal for very quiet practising where necessary!
Keyboard and action
Keyboard is in excellent condition and the action has been regulated so plays smoothly across the whole keyboard with a light-medium weight. Very expressive and lovely to play on.
Hammers and strings
Not very much wear in the hammers and strings are in great condition too – see photos
Soundboard – excellent condition, no cracks or splits.
Case
Lovely bright black polyester finish. Apart from some very small marks this piano is in excellent condition. It will look fantastic in a modern or classic styled home. It is on casters, which have been oiled and move well.
Matching black height adjustable stool is included in the sale.
Dimensions – 121cm tall, 151cm wide, 61.5cm deep. A full size upright
