The original Yamaha U1D was delivered with two pedals. In our restorations we add a third (moderator) pedal to each instrument; this is visually recognisable by the curves in the top lid.

What has been renewed?
The instrument has been thoroughly worked on both inside and out. The casework is finished with polyester high-gloss lacquer, the key covering has been replaced and the soundboard has been re-varnished. Interior, action and touch have been restored to an almost-new condition.

Technical work:
Strings and hammerheads have been repaired or replaced where necessary. All felts and the bushings in the action are renewed as standard. Brass parts have been polished. The instrument is fitted with a practice pedal and a slow-fall (soft-close) on the fallboard.

Warranty:
We offer a 10-year warranty on this restored Yamaha.

Silent systems:
The Yamaha silent piano is popular in the Netherlands. We supply multiple silent solutions; sometimes we encounter Yamaha silent systems fitted originally at the factory. Most often we offer a universal silent system so that you are free to choose from our complete range of pianos and we install the desired system.
