Yamaha was the first company to use an advanced Vacuum Shield Mold casting technology called V-Pro to create a stronger, lighter, more durable frame. Every U Series piano features a full-perimeter frame built Yamaha's our exacting specifications at their Iwata Forge in Japan.
The precise, ultra-responsive touch, clear, full-bodied tone and reputation for reliability have made U Series pianos the choice of professional musicians, conservatories, teachers, students, and music lovers.
