We are delighted to present for sale this Second-Hand Yamaha U3 in very good condition. As part of Yamaha’s premium U-Series, this U3 was manufactured in 1972 and built to stand the test of time. Externally, this cabinet is in very good condition with few major signs of general wear & tear. There is a mark on the front of the piano adjacent to C5 note. Otherwise, the cabinet shows the usual age-related wear/tear for a piano of it's age. Internally there are no issues, it is at concert pitch and been regularly tuned and thoroughly checked by approved technicians. The key action is beautifully responsive and well balanced. I think this piano is excellent value for money
