Yamaha Piano's models and prices compared.
In their "Professional" piano range, the most prestigious vertical models were - and probably
still are the Yamaha U3 and Yamaha UX upright pianos.

* prices circa 1987 ($AUD) pol. ebony: U1 $6595 - U3 $7195 - UX $7395

Some 20 years ago however, a Yamaha Piano brochure was sent to me at the Piano Advisory by a local Piano dealer. Yamaha retail price increases were announced with the release of the latest models. He had kindly noted the new prices* for currently in-demand uprights and I thought it may interest you to compare those with piano prices today.

Available worldwide, whether you choose to purchase new or used, they provide "superior piano performance" and can be obtained with excellent warranties.

On 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 new only.

An obvious choice for serious players, music teachers, advanced students and professional musicians - these "top of the range" pianos are always elegant in appearance and very satisfying to play.
The full size UX or Yamaha U3 models at 131 cm (52" app) are considered "the flagship" in their range of professional upright pianos and have been among the world's most popular, quality uprights for more than 2 decades.

In the first few years of the 1980's - whilst employed in retail piano sales, I noticed the rapid, universal acceptance of their entire selection of musical instruments. The world responded positively to the new mass production techniques, the affordability of Japanese pianos and the incredible piano technology which Yamaha pioneered.
No other maker seemed able to compete with Yamaha's marketing strategies in those days - and 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 - they even make the machines that produce the parts and assemble them as well.
