YAMAHA U1 TA3

New

YAMAHA – over 100 years of piano manufacturing!

YAMAHA’s U Series pianos have long been one of the first choices for educational institutions, professional musicians, and discerning amateur pianists.

Following a comprehensive redesign with numerous improvements in terms of materials and construction, these instruments, which set the global standard, are now better than ever. An improved scale and optimized components enrich the sound, while other changes lead to greater stability and durability. Extra-wide music rests provide ample space for sheet music. And the top model sets exceptionally high standards in terms of elegance and excellence, incorporating concepts adopted from YAMAHA concert grand pianos.

Advanced scale length: Thanks to improvements in all elements of sound production, the current U Series has a fuller tone with a balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.

With its outstanding musical performance, the YAMAHA U1 is a perennial favorite among discerning pianists, setting the standards by which many other pianos are measured.

This instrument is equipped with the YAMAHA TransAcoustic™ system:

For pianists who want a piano that is a true musical partner, or for parents who want to open up a world of music for their children, Yamaha offers a versatile, modern version of this traditional instrument. With the unique feel of an acoustic piano and the freedom to play at any time of the day or night without disturbing others, this instrument will become an integral part of your musical life.

TransAcoustic™ Piano—with this Yamaha innovation, you can experience the acoustic piano in a whole new way. Enjoy the authentic reverberation and unique resonance of an acoustic piano combined with the ability to adjust the volume of the instrument.

TransAcoustic™ technology allows you to adjust the volume as desired without losing the incomparable sound of an acoustic piano. Experience authentic acoustic sound at any time with the volume perfectly adjusted to suit the time of day, your surroundings, and the preferences of the pianist and those around them.

Immerse yourself in natural sound
Yamaha CFX Binaural Sampling creates a natural, room-filling sound that makes you forget you’re wearing headphones. Combined with VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) for authentic reproduction of the unparalleled resonance of an acoustic piano, this technology allows you to immerse yourself completely in the natural sound of a piano—without being disturbed by the outside world.

Play audio files on your piano—a whole new experience!
Experience your audio files with the natural, rich sound that only a piano’s soundboard can produce. Play along with your audio files or just listen as your entire piano becomes a speaker. Either way, this new technology will find a place in your life.

The rich sound of various instruments resonates from the entire piano
Choose from the sounds of a variety of instruments. These include two legendary concert grand pianos—the Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial—as well as electric pianos, harpsichords, organs, and many more. Only with TransAcoustic™ Pianos do these instruments resonate throughout the entire piano, creating an absolutely authentic acoustic sound experience.

• With the Smart Pianist app, you can select different tones directly from your smart device.
• The UD-WL01 USB Wi-Fi adapter (sold separately) is required to establish a wireless connection between the Smart Pianist app and the piano.

The focus is on how the piano works: sound and resonance
When a key is struck, the hammer hits the strings and they begin to vibrate. The original sound is soft, but the soundboard amplifies it—with the entire body of the piano acting as a resonating body. This creates the distinctive, rich sound of an acoustic piano. TransAcoustic™ technology uses this mechanism, in which the soundboard transmits the sound without actually striking the strings.

Acoustic sound from digital sources
TransAcoustic™ technology does not use speakers to reproduce sound. Instead, it uses transducers. The transducers convert audio signals into vibrations, which are then transmitted to the soundboard. The soundboard amplifies the vibrations and the entire piano begins to resonate in unison. Since the contact area between the transducers and the soundboard is very small, the vibration of the soundboard is not affected. Digital audio sources also undergo this process. This allows you to experience the rich sound of an acoustic piano when listening.
