YAMAHA U3 52" professional upright piano, polished ebony, with matching bench.
An expansive soundboard and acoustic chamber give the Yamaha U3 professional upright extended power and projection, with the peerless tonal and expressive control of the legendary Yamaha action.
Unlike many manufacturers, Yamaha takes a total approach to piano-making: it retains complete control over virtually every component at every stage of production—even to the point of building the manufacturing equipment. Rather than assembling pianos from parts produced by outside companies, or contracting with third parties to build its pianos, Yamaha designs, tests, evaluates and manufactures all components in its own Yamaha-owned factories.
Another key advantage to Yamaha is the extent of the company's expertise in related technologies. With well-established credentials in fields such as metallurgy, chemistry and electronics—as well as more obvious areas like acoustics and woodworking—Yamaha leverages extensive internal resources to raise the standards of piano-making. The results of this inter-disciplinary approach are a steady stream of innovations and better musical instruments.
