Used Yamaha Pianos for Sale

Please visit my Yamaha Piano sales page to see our current stock of Yamaha Pianos. The Yamaha UX has now been discontinued in favour of the extremely popular Yamaha U3. It has a different soundboard design (a bit weird actually) than the rest of the U-Series and a slightly different case design just above the keyboard. Yamaha official literature claim that the X-shaped soundboard frame improved the sound but in my opinion this is a bit like all of those cleaning fluid adverts which say “new improved formula” and make outrageous claims that nobody can prove or disprove. In the end, I’ve played many Yamaha pianos and I have never noticed the X-shaped soundboard making any difference to the sound at all.

If Yamaha really did think that an X-shaped soundboard resulted in a better shap then they would roll that design out to their brand new, high-end pianos but 2 decades on and their professional grade U1 and U3 upright pianos still have the traditional design. Don’t be fooled by manufacturing sales speak, that’s my advice when it comes to things like this. Instead, go and play the pianos and you’ll see that a high quality piano speaks for itself instantly with no need for explanation.

Not many people are familiar with the Yamaha UX so it often gets overlooked in favour of the more popular, tried & tested U1 and U3 models. The Yamaha UX does not, in my opinion, represent a sensible choice for purchase due to the fact that few people have heard of it. This has a negative impact on the Yamaha UX ability to hold its value. So when it comes to selling your Yamaha UX on in a few years, you’ll find that you are going to struggle to get a fair price. For general information about the Yamaha UX, please see below:

Yamaha UX Available Colours/Finishes

The most commonly available colour available on the 2nd hand market is Black Polyester. A non-black 2nd hand Yamaha UX is a very rare thing and if that is what you require you could be in for a very long search. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like me to try and find one for you.
