Why Rent a Piano in Singapore?
What is the difference between Yamaha U1 and U3?
The main difference is size and sound performance.
The Yamaha U1 (121cm) is more compact, making it ideal for homes and beginners to intermediate players.
The Yamaha U3 (131cm) is taller, with a larger soundboard and longer strings, producing a richer bass, deeper tone, and more powerful projection. It is preferred by advanced students, teachers, and professional pianists.
Is Yamaha better than Kawai?
Both Yamaha and Kawai are leading Japanese piano brands, but they offer slightly different characteristics.
Yamaha pianos are known for their bright, clear tone and precise touch, making them ideal for classical training and exams.
Kawai pianos tend to have a warmer, rounder tone with a softer touch, which some players prefer for expressive playing.
The best choice depends on your personal preference — we recommend trying both in our showroom.
