This is a Yamaha U3, one of the most respected upright pianos ever built. Standing at 52” tall, the U3 is Yamaha’s professional studio model — offering a rich, resonant tone and the kind of projection that’s often compared to a baby grand. • Model: Yamaha U3 Upright • Year: 1972 (Serial #1213495) • Made in Hamamatsu, Japan (high-quality craftsmanship era) • Height: 52” professional upright (larger soundboard for big, full sound) • Condition: Well-maintained, plays beautifully, and holds tuning The U3 has been a favorite of teachers, serious students, and professionals for decades because of its durability, clarity, and performance. Unlike many of the free or low-cost pianos you’ll see online, this is a top-tier instrument that will last for years to come. 🎵 Perfect for: • Dedicated students moving beyond beginner level • Teachers or studios looking for a reliable workhorse • Musicians who want grand-piano depth without the footprint Delivery can be arranged locally (I can recommend movers). ⸻ ✨ Why $2,800? Free pianos are usually spinets or small uprights with little musical value — often costly to tune, repair, or move. The Yamaha U3, by contrast, is a professional instrument that sells for $8,000+ new today. At $2,800, this is an excellent price for a serious player who wants a piano built to perform. ⸻
