1975 Yamaha U2 EP (Refurbished)

The Yamaha U2 is a professional-quality upright piano, standing about 126–127 cm (roughly 50 inches) tall, and is manufactured in Japan as part of Yamaha’s respected U-series. Positioned between the widely known U1 and U3 models, the U2 offers a balanced middle ground in both size and tonal depth. Although it is less commonly found outside of Asia, it has earned a strong reputation among those who seek a slightly larger sound than the U1 without stepping up to the full height of the U3. Thanks to its increased cabinet height and longer strings compared to the U1, the U2 produces a fuller, more resonant tone with enhanced bass response while maintaining clarity in the mid and upper registers. Like other U-series pianos, it features a solid spruce soundboard, durable construction, and Yamaha’s precise action design, providing a responsive and consistent touch that supports expressive playing. The U2 is especially well-suited for intermediate to advanced pianists, teachers, and institutions that need a reliable instrument capable of handling frequent use. Its combination of tonal richness, control, and durability makes it a versatile choice for both practice and performance, offering a refined upright alternative that approaches the depth and power of a small grand piano while remaining more compact.
