Yamaha U3S Upright Piano Professional Performance, Timeless Elegance
This piano was sold by us brand new in April 2021. Just a few years old this piano looks and plays like brand new. Sadly our customer is now unable to play the piano since suffering a stroke and is very much a reluctant sale. Please contact us if you would like to view and play this piano.
