The Yamaha U1 SH3 has become a perennial favourite of the discerning pianist and a benchmark for any piano producer looking to create a high quality, robust instrument.
The Yamaha U1 SH3 Silent Upright Piano combines world-class acoustic performance with state-of-the-art silent practice technology, making it a top choice for advancing and professional pianists. Known for its superior build quality and tonal excellence, the U1 delivers exceptional sound, dynamic range, and precise touch.
For quiet practice, the U1 SH3 features Yamaha's SH3 Silent System, allowing you to play any time without disturbing others. This system integrates seamlessly, offering an authentic acoustic experience in silent mode.
Silent Mode Features Include:
- Advanced Sensors: Non-contact hammer sensors (2-point optical fibre detection) and key sensors provide highly accurate touch reproduction. Pedal sensors track damper, sostenuto, and soft pedal movement for true-to-life responsiveness.
- Authentic Sound Sampling: Features Yamaha CFX Grand and Bösendorfer Imperial samples alongside 25 additional voices, such as strings, organs, and electric pianos.
- Immersive Modelling: Binaural Sampling and Virtual Resonance Modelling (VRM) ensure rich, natural sound through headphones. Grand Expression Modelling reproduces your touch and dynamics with remarkable fidelity.
- Connectivity Options: USB connectivity and Bluetooth support make it easy to link with external speakers, devices, and Yamaha’s Smart Pianist App.
The U1 SH3 Silent System is part of Yamaha's renowned SH3 range, available across various grand and upright pianos. Learn more about silent technology on our blog: What is a Silent Piano?.
