– The Finest Woods –

The top ten percent of solid spruce from around the world is hand selected from the Yamaha Kitami Mill in Hokkaido, Japan for the YUS piano soundboards. The crown is reinforced with full-length, solid spruce ribs for a refined, dynamic tone expected in a grand piano.

– Superior Voicing and Regulation –

YUS pianos are voiced and regulated by master technicians in Kakegawa, Japan to ensure that everything, from the strike of the hammers to the weight of the keys and depth of the key travel, are reminiscent of the finest grand piano.

– Hand-wound European Bass Strings –

Yamaha artisans wind each bass string by hand to the exacting standards and sound profile of every YUS piano at the Yamaha factory in Kakegawa, Japan.

– Concert Quality Hammer Felt –

Yamaha took everything we learned from crafting the hammers of their flagship CFX concert grand and redesigned the hammers of the YUS to bring out powerful, nuanced tones on an upright piano.

– Room Filling Sound –

Each YUS piano features a proprietary Yamaha tone escapement system that helps provide the clarity of tone and power that is rarely found in an upright.

– Back posts, forward thinking –

Years of cutting-edge research, including Yamaha’s proprietary wood-drying process, result in durable back posts that maintain their shape, strength and resonance for years to come.

– Advanced V-Pro Frame –

Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced Vacuum Shield Mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, more durable frame. Every YUS Series piano features a full-perimeter frame built to Yamaha’s exacting specifications at the Yamaha Iwata Forge in Japan.

– The World’s First Aluminum Action Rail –

Often copied but never equaled, the patented Yamaha aluminum action rail helps assure their piano keyboards are resistant to tiny fluctuations in humidity and temperature over time.
