Thanks mdw. We bought the YUS 5 at the end of january. We agreed with the dealer to send us a technician to tune the piano as soon as the house heating ends (mid april).

Dear fellows, we bought a new Yamaha YUS 5 to replace an old Nindorf that was not worth repairing. The new piano is excellent except for the action which is very, very heavy. Both I (a new piano student) and my wife (a few years at a Conservatory) find it somehow difficult to play some passages like...

Dear guys, I am a novice - play some very easy jazz pieces - and own an old Nindorf that my wife used to play many years ago and that is not worth repairing (the piano, not my wife :lol:). I am evaluating a new Yamaha U3 with Sostenuto pedal and with or without the Silent System. First question: as ...

Thanks for your useful posts. From them I understand that the Yamaha numbering is common to all models (i.e. U!, U3, etc.). Is it true?
