The YUS 5 replaces the U5. The U5 has aggraffes and a thick pressure bar for the high treble. The YUS5 removes all these. Also the YUS5 has 4 coils for the high treble strings while the U5 had only 3 coils-can someone explain why? My experience is that the U5 has a mellower tone.

Never the less an excellent piano. Many of the Yamaha's are coming in with tighter pins, some thing has changed in the factory?

I went to the Piano Book, and Larry Fine says this type of construction has advantages when done right. It is moving into better quality pianos. Since ?laminated? used to mean cheap, manufactures (as others have pointed out) have different ways to describe it. Thanks!

Never heard of it! Is it a good thing? How might it affect the sound? The Hailun's I have played are surprisingly resonant, with good sustain. Comments encouraged!

Not so bright as brand Y, maybe :) Don From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Edward Sambell Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 11:53 AM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: [CAUT] Yahama YUS 5 I tuned a Yamaha Upright YUS 5 recently Is this their largest upright/ The center pedal is a sostenuto, and it has a muffler rail worked by a T-shaped handle under the keybed near the bass end.
