U Series upright pianos have long been a leading choice for educational institution, professional musicians and discriminating home pianists. Now, thanks to a comprehensive redesign, these world-standard instruments are better than ever, with numerous advances in materials and construction. Refined scale designs and components improve tonal performance, while other modifications enhance strength and durability. Extra-wide music desks provide plenty of room for sheet music.

• Advanced Scale Design - Refinements in all elements of sound production have given today's U Series a richer, more resonant voice with evenly balanced timbre across the entire keyboard.
• Soundboard and Frame - Special rib configurations add strength to the soundboard, while back post and other advances further enhance rigidity, resonance and structural stabiltiy.
• Redesigned Hammers - U Series hammers use materials specifically selected for each model to provide optimum tone production, response and long term durability.
• Soft-Close Fallboard - A damping mechanism, formerly used only in grand pianos, prevents the fall board from dropping abruptly onto the keyboard, guarding against accidental injury or damage.
