Yamaha YUS1-SH2 SILENT Professional Upright

Yamaha’s U Series is the most popular vertical piano line in the world, selected by topflight music institutions, teachers, churches, and serious individual pianists.  For decades these instruments have proven to be reliable, resilient, and very musical, with a wide tonal and dynamic range, and Yamaha’s famous precision action.

The YUS series steps things up a notch, elevating the standard U series models to even higher performance levels with European hand-wound strings, improved hammer felts, higher grade spruce in the soundboards, and extensive voicing and regulation in the factory.

The 48” YUS1 upright is a noticeable step up from the wildly popular U1.  The depth of tone is impressive and very satisfying, with a sweeter singing quality and wider dynamic range.  It’s a truly inspiring small upright

But there is more…

This is one of Yamaha’s Silent Series — an acoustic hybrid piano.  It gives the player both a high-quality acoustic piano and the additional features of a modern digital piano, in a single instrument.

When needed, you can play/practice in complete privacy using the built-in digital piano tone module.  When you activate the SILENT Piano feature, the hammers are prevented from hitting the strings and optical sensors take over, sending your key movements to the digital piano which you can hear through headphones.  When playing silently, you still have the benefit and pleasure of playing the real mechanical acoustic action — not a digital facsimile.

This piano is in excellent condition, with a great warranty.  It’s ideal for a dedicated player from beginner to advanced, for a composer using MIDI, and anyone that desires playing silently from time to time on a fantastic professional-level upright piano.
