Yamaha U3 Upright Piano (with matching adjustable bench)
Full-size professional Yamaha U3 upright piano made at the Hamamatsu, Japan factory in 1977 (per Yamaha serial number atlas, serial H2455998 falls in the 1977 production range). The U3 is the benchmark studio upright - longer strings, larger soundboard, and a richer tonal range than smaller uprights; widely used by conservatories, teachers, and serious home players. Exterior is polished ebony in excellent condition with intact high-gloss lacquer and no visible dents or deep scratches from the photos. Interior shows normal age-appropriate wear: hammers are grooved from play and felts are compressed - consistent with a well-used but well-kept 49-year-old instrument. Includes a matching height-adjustable bench. Would benefit from a professional tuning and light regulation on arrival; otherwise appears ready to play.
