Yamaha UX-5 Concert Upright Piano

Crafted by Yamaha

The Yamaha UX-5 is widely regarded as one of Yamaha’s most grand-like upright pianos, built for pianists who want the depth, control, and sophistication of a grand in a vertical format. The UX-5 delivers a powerful, refined tone and an exceptionally responsive touch that feels closer to a small grand than a traditional upright. Its robust frame, extended string length, and solid soundboard contribute to a rich, resonant sound with impressive sustain and dynamic range. The action is firm yet highly responsive, offering precise control for nuanced phrasing, confident repetition, and expressive dynamics- pianists often remark on the UX-5’s stability and authority under the fingers. A standout feature is the middle sostenuto pedal , a rare inclusion on upright pianos and a hallmark of grand-level design. This pedal allows selective sustaining of chosen notes, opening the door to advanced repertoire and more sophisticated pedal techniques normally reserved for grand pianos. Built with Yamaha’s renowned craftsmanship and attention to detail, the UX-5 is an exceptional choice for serious students, teachers, and advanced players seeking a true grand-like playing experience in an upright piano. Elegant, powerful, and thoughtfully engineered, it remains one of Yamaha’s most respected upright models. Stop by our Stanton showroom to audition this unique U series gem!
