The very top the range upright piano from Yamaha with superior string length, soundboard size, and design features normally reserved for grand pianos, the YUS5 is the only choice for those seeking the sound and playability of a large grand but with limited space.

On this page you will find a demo video of the YUS5, specially recorded in our showroom, and some more information regarding the features and construction methods unique to the model.

YUS5

The very top of the range in Yamaha upright pianos, the YUS5 takes the performance capabilities of the YUS3 and elevates them to whole other level.

Sostenuto

With the addition of the Sostenuto pedal (normally reserved for grand pianos) the sound escapement in the front panels, and the high music rest, the YUS5 brings players remarkably close to the experience of playing a professional level grand piano in a fraction of the footprint.

High Quality Spruce

Timbers for the all important soundboard of the YUS series pianos are selected from the top 10% of solid spruce wood available in Yamaha’s Kitami Mill.

Setup in Japan

In the Kakagawa factory in Japan, YUS series pianos are tuned, regulated and voiced approximately four times as much as the standard U series, ensuring each piano leaves the factory possessing the precise tonal qualities sought after by the Yamaha technicians.

High Grade Materials

Further to the above attention to detail, the YUS series pianos are also composed of a higher grade of materials (including Wurzen felt and Roslau strings)  all of which contribute to a richness and warmth of sound with a controlled brightness.

Action

As well as their dynamic sound, what truly separates the YUS series from its competition is the responsiveness and smoothness of the action (made entirely of natural components) gifting the player complete control over the instrument.
