Soundboard and Frame – Yamaha U3
Special rib configurations add strength to the soundboard, while back post and other advances further enhance rigidity, resonance and structural stability. The large sound board is why some people refer to the U3 as Yamaha’s Upright Grand.

Redesigned Hammers
U Series hammers use materials specifically selected for each model to provide optimum tone production, response and long-term durability.
The Yamaha U3 Hammer is an under felted hammer. Featuring 2 different types of felt at two different levels of compression. This under felt helps maintains the piano tone as the hammer ages. It is generally seen in higher end pianos above 45 inches tall.
The Hammer weight is set to 22 pounds for the Yamaha U3 52″ upright piano . The hammer core and the hammer shank are made of Spruce due to it’s strength.
Piano hammers range in size depending on the scale of the harp or plate. The hammer is the largest at the bottom most note and the smallest at the top note. This is because the larger bass strings need a bigger force to get the string to resonate. Yamaha Piano Engineer’s select each hammer design to complement the pianos Scale and intended use.
Soft-Close Fallboard
A damping mechanism, formerly used only in grand pianos, prevents the fallboard from dropping abruptly onto the keyboard, guarding against accidental injury or damage.
Designed right into the sides of the piano fallboard offering a discrete dampening mechanism that is pleasing to the eye.
