Usado, Yamaha, U1D

This Yamaha U1 model was produced between 1959 and 1965; earlier examples are known for a softer, warmer tone than later production years. The presented U1D design originally had two pedals. During our restorations, however, we consistently add a third (the so‑called moderator) pedal, which is visually recognizable by the rounded shape of the top lid. The instrument is finished in black and has the standard 88‑key range. It has been thoroughly inspected and technically restored; the modifications to the pedal configuration are permanent and form part of our overhaul methodology.
