What are the best upright pianos Yamaha creates?
The honest answer here is that it’s entirely personal.
The range starts with the b Series, perfect for beginners and intermediates – or just those looking for a piano to fit into modern life thanks to its ultra-compact form. Pitched in the middle of the collection is the popular upright U series – an elegant upright with impressive tonal performance. Whilst at the top of the range is the SU series offering superior response and tonal qualities rarely observed in an upright.
The good news is, with Yamaha, you can be confident you’re buying well but exactly which model is right for you will be dependent on a number of factors including things like:
Playing level – are you an experienced pianist or just starting out?
Available space – whilst all upright pianos are designed to be more compact the exact footprint varies, so if you have a smaller space to practice in, you may wish to focus your search around this.
Budget – with such an extensive range prices for Yamaha upright pianos can vary greatly.
Technology – if you’re looking for additional features, such as the ability to record or use headphones, this will influence the ‘best’ instrument for you.
Don’t struggle trying to find the right piano – let us help! With a fantastic range of Yamaha upright pianos available and a wealth of experience and knowledge up our sleeve, the team are on hand a ready to find your perfect match.
Is there an upright Yamaha for silent playing?
Absolutely.

The advantage of this? Play anytime day or night without worrying you’re causing a disturbance (and make as many mistakes as you like).
Not quite what you’re looking for? Then how about the TranAcoustic model? This offers the convenience of volume control – so exactly how loud your play is entirely up to you.
