OzPianoman (we don't buy & sell pianos) says : Interesting to compare prices today with those from some 20 years ago ... In Australia, the "new" models and latest piano prices had just been announced. To the Piano Advisory, a local Piano dealer sent this rather nicely presented Yamaha piano brochure, upon which he had noted for me the latest retail piano prices* seen above each picture. The Yamaha Upright Pianos : Most popular models from Yamaha's "Professional" series were - and probably still are the Yamaha U1, Yamaha U3 and Yamaha UX upright pianos.

An obvious choice for serious players, music teachers, advanced students and professional musicians - these "top of the range" pianos are certainly elegant in appearance, lovely to own and very satisfying to play. Available worldwide, whether you choose to purchase new or used, they provide "superior piano performance" and can be obtained with excellent warranties.

With secondhand Japanese pianos, a dealer may provide similar warranty cover to what is available from the factory.
Be advised however, that Piano makers themselves seldom offer any direct customer support, unless you purchase their product New from an approved dealer - so piano buyers seeking a factory backed guarantee should ensure that they buy the new product only.

Please note: I'm not an associate, agent or employee of Yamaha - or their dealer network.
My information is shared with you as a satisfied user of the product and one who enjoys servicing their pianos.

For 2 decades and more, Yamaha's U1 model appears to have been among the world's most popular upright pianos.
In my opinion, the Yamaha U1 piano at 121 cm (48" app) in height is acceptable as little brother to the 131cm (52" app) full size UX or Yamaha U3 "deluxe" models - generally considered the "flagships" of the fleet and preferred by savvy buyers.

Employed in retail piano sales for a couple of years in the early 1980's, I witnessed first hand the rapid, universal acceptance of their entire selection of musical instruments. And the world went mad for this incredible new piano technology as interest in playing keyboard instruments underwent a big revival.
No other maker seemed able to compete with Yamaha's marketing strategies in those days - few today can ever hope to match their success in the "music business".

Yamaha is justifiably proud of what they have achieved in a century of piano making and their dedication to quality is reflected in every aspect of the way Yamaha makes pianos.
There are thousands of parts in a piano. Yamaha not only makes the machines that produce the Parts, they make the other machines which Assemble them as well.
