The U1PEQ 121cm upright piano is made entirely in the Kakegawa factory in Japan and represents Yamaha's entry point into professional upright pianos. Features include five solid bonded back-posts for stability, solid spruce soundboard and reinforced hammers for refined tone and a soft-close fall board with lock for protection of fingers, centre pedal mute function for playing at reduced volume and a long music rest for ease in handling musical scores. This model features the newly developed TransAcoustic™ TA3 technology transmits digital sound directly to the piano soundboard, thus making the piano itself behave as a speaker. Also incorporates SILENT Piano™ SH3 System featuring Yamaha CFX, Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand samples, VRM Virtual Resonance Modelling and Smart Pianist app compatible for intuitive control
