U3

An expanisve soundboard and acoustic chamber give the 131-cm U3 extended power and projection, with the peerless tonal and expressive control of the legendary Yamaha action. A floating support system allows the soundboard to vibrate more freely, improving the depth and character of bass and mid-range tones.
 
Advanced Scale Design
Refinements in all elements of sound production have given today's U series a richer, more resonant voice with evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.
 
Soundboard and frame
Special rib configurations add strength to the soundboard, while back posts and other advances further enhance rigidity, resonance and structural stability.
 
Specially designed hammers
U series hammers use materials specifically selected for each model to provide optimum tone production, response and long-term durability.
 
Soft-CloseTM fallboard
A damping mechanism, formerly used only in grand pianos, prevents the fallboard from dropping abruptly onto the keyboard, guarding against accidental injury or damage.
 
Floating Support system
The U3 features Yamaha's patented Floating Support system. Based on the elastic supporting structure of a grand piano, this system allows the soundboard, which is the heart of an acoustic piano, to vibrate more freely, enabling richer bass and mid-range tones.
