Yamaha Pianos Transacoustic U1 TA3 SE TransAcoustic Satin black 121 cm

The specialist's opinion

The favorite piano for all pianists, the U1 instantly provides a sense of solidity and reliability.

The master stallion of upright pianos.

This beautiful piano is 100% made in Japan by master craftsmen. The U1 is known for its superb durability and thanks to recent advancements in Yamaha's manufacturing processes, the current model enjoys exceptional stability while offering particularly precise feel and crisp tone. This piano benefits from the Soft-closeTM cylinder retarder system: A damper mechanism prevents the keyboard cylinder from falling suddenly and therefore eliminates any risk of injury or material damage. It also has a built-in lock below the keypad, which allows access to be locked when the cover is closed. The Yamaha U1 offers great playing pleasure for virtuosos and easy work for beginners. --- All the advantages of the TransAcoustic system: Thanks to the possibility of amplifying the silent system directly on the soundboard of your piano, you can adjust the volume without having to wear headphones.

- Bluetooth Audio allows you to input sound from audio data saved on a Bluetooth device such as a smartphone, tablet or computer, on this instrument and through the piano's built-in speaker. - The Bluetooth MIDI allows you the wireless connection between your piano and the SmartPianist application on a smartphone, a tablet or a computer. - The USB TO HOST input allows you to connect a computer or other digital devices and record yourself in high quality without adding other interfaces, - AUX OUT output allows you to output the signal to an external amplification (Hi-chain fi, recorder, amplified speakers, etc.). - The AUX IN input receives external sound sources. - The MIDI OUTPUT transmits the information of the game to an external device such as a synth. - The MIDI IN input receives the performance information like a sequencer to use the TransAcoustic tone generator.

Performances can be recorded in two different ways:

- Either you can record directly into the piano's memory.
Using memory is more interesting when you want to listen to yourself directly. This allows you to work on a piece by listening to it and then repeating specific passages. - Or on a USB medium, in which case the stored data will be in WAV format readable by all digital devices. Once the songs have been recorded in WAV format, they can be written directly to CD or portable players.
