Hi List, A recent college purchase of 6 Yamaha U5 uprights has added advantageously to the stock in our college. I hadn't seen this model before and it is a very good and serious studio piano. The touch is firm, the middle pedal is a sostenuto, there is also a lever operated 'muffler' rail. It also has the feature I have always felt should be on all serious uprights, i.e. a large music desk which is part of the top panel which pulls forward allowing more tonal clarity and volume from the piano. However, to the subject in hand. This model has agraffes for all the middle tenor/ treble section and pressure bars for the top two treble sections. Does anyone know the re-thinking on Yamaha's part for this change in an upright model? Whilst I find the tuning marginally easier, there does not appear to be a significant tonal difference. ric -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
