Yamaha U3 Performance
Upright Piano
Our Piano Expertise
The Yamaha U3 upright piano is Yamaha’s flagship professional upright, known for its 131 cm height, extended soundboard, and powerful tonal projection. In Singapore, the U3 is widely chosen by advanced students, teachers, and music schools who require greater dynamic range and depth than standard upright models.
At Melodious Piano Boutique, our Yamaha U3 pianos are authentic Japan-made instruments, carefully selected and professionally reconditioned in Japan to ensure long-term stability, consistency, and performance.
For pianists seeking an upright piano that delivers near baby-grand presence in a vertical form, the Yamaha U3 remains one of the most respected choices available.
