Yamaha U1
on: March 24, 2011, 09:51:22 PM
Hi

I currently have a Casio digital piano, but it doesn't sound as good as an acoustic piano, so I'd like to change it for one. I'd like to keep it for a long time, so I was thinking it would be a good idea to get one of the best out there, the Yamaha U-series. I don't think I'll need a U3 as they're bigger and louder (fine now, but later in life it may be a problem). So, I figured the U1 is the best way to go.

I've been looking around on the internet for them, but I'm struggling to find one for my budget, which is a little more than £1300 and most of them are £2500+. Am I being over-ambitious here? If so, what other decent pianos could I find for this kind of price that are in a similar, polyester black finish?

Thanks,
Buggington
