I really appreciate you both, Graeme and Barrie, for your helpful information! I don't feel just being alone with the problem of my piano, and worried if I made a right choice to buy this piano, if the problem can ever get fixed? I just called an experienced tuner/technician here in Auckland and des...

Thank you very much PianoGuy and Barrie for your advice!!! This is the piano I choose in the shop. Maybe because the two environments are different and I didn't play long enough in the shop, the feeling of playing at home for several hours is quite different. When the tuner came to tune the piano, I...

I have had my U3A tuned. But I found the sound of higher notes (start about above centre C) are quite dull and don't last long (only about 6-7 sec). On the other hand, the lower notes are quite rich and last very long (more than 20 sec). What might be the cause of the short and dull sound of higher ...

I have seen the UX3 a few days ago. As you mentioned, the case was really ugly. I thought I could bear it if the UX3 produces good quality sound, but I was quite disappointed with it. At the end I bought an U3 serial 4 million 1984/1985 instead which has much better sound than this UX3. Also I heard...

Except what you have mentioned, does U5 have better action, material, soundboard? etc in mechanic side making it a better piano than UX3? Thank you!!

Thanks for your advice about the U5, 1969. It's really help me to make a decision for not to consider about it! As I read reviews about U3/X and U5, it seems that U5 is better quality piano but older model. Was U5 still made in 1980" and 90"? What model would be the equivalent quality with...

Just add one more question...

I just seen in the ad there is a U5, 1969 for sale for NZ3,800. Do you think it is worth to consider it by compare with UX3,1986 or the U5 is too old? Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks a lot for your information! I am writing from New Zealand. The prise of the UX3, 1986 piano is NZ $4,600. I guess it might sound cheap for UK market. This prise is quite cheap for NZ market. The seller himself imports pianos from a Japanese friend whose business is export used piano from Japa...

I have a chance to buy a Yamaha UX3, 1986. Is it a good model to buy? As I know the back of the sound board is in X shape. Is it good design? Thank you!
