Congratulations on owning this beautiful instrument. Even through your microphone the sound is so much richer and more expressive than the Young Chang.
Very nice! I also upgraded in 2022 from a 1999 Charles R Walter upright to a brand new Kawai Baby Grand. At first I almost got a Kawai K800 upright that also has the Sostenuto pedal but I really preferred the natural feel of the Kawai Baby Grand. I also love Chopin and working on that same Op 09 No 02 Nocturne right now.
@@healingpianosandiego Thank you, the good news is it so being shipped from and made in 🇯🇵. If it comes to Brentwood, Ca by November, I will be happy. Maybe I will get lucky and it will come in October.
Oh and I was thinking of your model as well but two things 1 I have a big house and the space 2 I know a lot about phantoms . The difference between a standing upright and a baby grand grand is both have an L jack that pushes the hammer down however the baby grand has a mechanism and so does the grand which it’ll have the note up playing a note on a standing upright and try to play it again quickly, you will find that you can’t. If however you have a baby grand or a grand, you can play the note 25 times in a row. By the way is your Piano both digital and acoustic I know they’re making digital and acoustic ones I’m getting rid of my digital CLP Yamaha 745 by the way only stick with Yamaha Yamaha bought the rights to Steinway and Bendorf and they improved their heart exponentially they make the best pianos hands-down so we agree with that you got the right brand . From one classical pianist to another nothing makes me happier than to see a piano player get his or her Piano
Thank you for another comment. Being able to quickly play one note 25 times in a row with grand pianos sounds good. In my case, in my limited space, I have been more than satisfied with the touch of the keys and amazing sound of YUS5 to practice every day and enjoy the piano life. Also, my piano is the acoustic YUS5, not another type of YUS5 with both digital and acoustic functions.
Bravoo for the video and well-done for this great new piano ! A slight remark: If you move the piano to the right, away from the outer wall, the piano will be needing less frequently rewinding and will be more tune stable.
Thank you so much for your advice! Actually, I moved the piano against the inner wall in the same room last month, and the condition of the piano has been pretty good. Hope you could feel the difference of the sound in my next video. Please check it out later ^^ !
Can you make a video of playing piano showing the music sheet of White River ? I believe it’ll get tone of viewers because so far no one has done it on RUclips. Thank you. Looking forward to it. ❤
Thank you for the video! It makes me want to upgrade to a better piano. My current piano is 24 years old but its tone is slowly becoming unstable over the years, and I'm not sure if I should get a YUS5 or Hoffmann T128.
It may be fun and difficult at the same time to choose one between the two top-quality pianos! Have you seen the RUclips video “Hoffmann 128 vs Yamaha YUS5 131cm upright pianos - which is best?” It compares them side by side and is very interesting. Good luck with exploring your new piano, and let me know which you choose ultimately!
Yup I saw that video and it was enlightening! Love the sound of Hoffman T128 since it is richer and rounder in tone. My music school has it on sale which makes it about 5000 dollars cheaper than YUS5. I tried to go to Yamaha music shop but it seems reluctant to let me try YUS5. :(
Hello, enjoy your playing! Recently i also bought a yamaha yus5, but thought the sound is sometimes too bright and muddy. I notice your piano sound changes over time in your various videos. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for asking! What I've learned is that a brand new piano's sound is prone to be easily out of tune so you may need a tech to come tune your piano more often until it becomes stable. Also, I've kept being careful about the temperature and humidity in the room. Hope those ways work with your piano, too!
Hi, I'm interested in buying an acoustic piano. I tested a range of pianos including the Yamaha U1, U3, YUS5 and Kawai K300, 500, 800. The YUS5 sounded the best to me and the keys and action had a level of quality that were unmatched in my view. Did you narrow the selection down to a few pianos before you decided to buy the YUS5?
I didn’t narrow down the selection to many other pianos because I originally had decided to buy YUS5 for its special features. However, I tested some YAMAHA upright pianos at the store (although I don’t remember which models they were) and knew immediately I loved the sound and touch of YUS5 the best. The sound is truly gorgeous.Hope this helps you even a little bit. Good luck!
I have a U3 which is similar to the YUS5 except that U1, U3 are more heat and humidity sensitive due to the materials used in construction and outdated build techniques. YUS5 is a good replacement.
@@midnight4109 Thanks for the information - heat and humidity are factors where I live with long, hot and often humid summers. I didn't realise the YUS5 were more resistant to the fluctuations in temperature and humidity. I still haven't purchased the YUS5 but it is the front runner. I'm using my Yamaha P515 in the meantime.
Currently, I plan to have my YUS5 tuned every 8 months or so, but I would call the technician if the piano feels getting out of tune before 8 months hit. When my piano was brand-new, I got it tuned, tapering, like every 3 months for 3-4 times then 6 months.
When I said good bye to my Yamaha Spinet, I cried. Kimmy was bought in 1973 and was with me till December 2023. When I gave her to a family with 4 children. I bought a Yamaha YUS5-TA3. Apart from the monumental screwing around by Yamaha promising to deliver the piano in January 2024, it arrived June 8th 2024. It is a lovely piano. Pity the quality of Yamaha customer service is not up to the quality of their pianos.
I understand how hard it was for you to say goodbye to the piano that stayed with you for nearly five decades! I'm glad your YUS5 TA3 arrived safely from Japan anyway, even though it got delayed. Let's enjoy our piano life with the YUS 5s!
I am sure Yamaha YUS5's resonance and musical tone surpasses most of baby grand piano under 180cm. I am a big fan of Kawai piano but the YUS5 and CX Series's quailities are equal to German made piano. I am considering to upgrade to Yamaha C3X
Thank you for the comment! I am happy every time to hear the great reputation with YUS5! I have heard that C3X is gorgeous one with clear, beautiful sounds like grains of light✨ Good luck on your search!
@@healingpianosandiego Yes, the sound of Yamaha C3X makes people smile and cry. I fell in love with Yamaha C3X right after trying it. Playing beautiful sounding piano is very precious previlege for chosen people that other people never experienced in their lifetime.
The pieces except Nocturne 9-2 by Chopin in this video are from RUclips Copyright Free Music library, so I don't have the scores. I've put the titles and the composers' names of the pieces in the description. Hope these are helpful!
It must have been hard to let your old piano go. I know I had mine for about a year and a half. I'm at the point where I need to update. But it's my first piano and I have good time with it...
@@Sloimer I guess I was a bit too ignorant. Another year and a half I still have the same piano. I bought it 150$ and it's a console at 41in. Musically speaking it's a bit limited but so far my skills haven't reached the physical limit of the instrument for the speed. I just know better.
Hello, your video is one of the reasons I’m in the process of purchasing a yus5. Are you willing to disclose the price you paid? I’m in Northern California. I want to try and get the best price possible. Was the price you paid negotiable? Thank you for your help.
Thank you for asking, but I’m rather hesitant to mention about the price since it may vary from store to store and might depend on the relationship already established between you and the store. Good luck to your YUS5 search!
I have a Maltese. She always helps me with me with my practice. Regardless of the piano I am playing, upstairs in the music room of the one in the lounge/dining room, she comes in a sits under the piano stool. I love her attention but I don’t think she has an ear for music, I’m not all that good a pianist. Maybe she is just generous.
How adorable your Maltese is for helping your practice! My Pomeranian used to be more sensitive to sounds and tended to get out of the room or sometimes begged me to stop playing in his way (which is barking😅), but now he is more patient and peaceful while I play. Dogs are so lovely!
The sound is rich. I feel that the higher tones sound sparkling and charming while the lower tones sound dignified. About the action, it is not light and not heavy, so I think you can feel the subtle difference in the sounds depending on how you touch the keys.
@@healingpianosandiegoyam yus 5 the best rich sound more heavier touch tho yam Ux 3 flexable touch for flukeing or accidental touch apon unexpected notes when composing and attack accents sound can secretly release and come out. Tho yam yus 5 is twice the price tho best richest deep tone and so is the amszing woody rich sound kawai 800. Merry xmas.

this is probably the best recording of the YUS5 I've found on the internets yet.
Thank you so much! You made my day😊
Congratulations on owning this beautiful instrument. Even through your microphone the sound is so much richer and more expressive than the Young Chang.
Thank you! I really loved my Young Chang because of its clear sound, but yes, YUS5 is amazing!
Congratulations on your beautiful new piano. I’ve played one in a showroom and you can hear and feel the amazing quality immediately.
Thank you so much! I totally agree with your impression!
Very nice! I also upgraded in 2022 from a 1999 Charles R Walter upright to a brand new Kawai Baby Grand.

Congratulations on upgrading your piano! Playing the nocturne on the piano must be fantastic!
This made my day. Lovely dog, lovely playing. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so~much! You made my day, too!!
You have a lovely piano contests. I am saving for a Yamaha GB1 K
Thank you! Good luck with getting it sooner!

I love the textured finish on the keys
Me, too! I feel they aren’t slippery.
A Yamaha YUS5 is pretty much an upright piano with the sound of a grand piano! Such a beautiful sounding piano!
Absolutely right. Thank you!
Congratulations beautiful piano and beautiful dog
Thank you so much!!
That is a nice upgrade! Awesome :)

Thank you!!
Such a beautiful song. Can you tell me the name of song you played?
You mean the piece I played with the old and the new pianos? If so, it is Nocturne Op.9-2 by Chopin. Thank you for watching!

How many times a year do you plan to get your piano tuned?

Yes, it was really hard since I had so much memories and spent time with it. Enjoy the music life with your piano! :)
A year and a half? Lol?
@@Sloimer I guess I was a bit too ignorant. Another year and a half I still have the same piano. I bought it 150$ and it's a console at 41in. Musically speaking it's a bit limited but so far my skills haven't reached the physical limit of the instrument for the speed. I just know better.
Is yhe sheet much higher tjan in other pianos? I have some vision problem
Yes, the sheet stand of YUS5 is in a higher position than other upright pianos and rather closer position to grand pianos'.
Hello, your video is one of the reasons I’m in the process of purchasing a yus5. Are you willing to disclose the price you paid? I’m in Northern California.
I want to try and get the best price possible. Was the price you paid negotiable? Thank you for your help.
Thank you for asking, but I’m rather hesitant to mention about the price since it may vary from store to store and might depend on the relationship already established between you and the store. Good luck to your YUS5 search!
I was quoted 16k for a brand new YamahaYUS5 in Illinois. What’s the price in California?
I find smaller Yamahas a bit too bright. More a rock and roll piano. I have a P2. Is this Yus5 a darker fuller tone?
Thank you for your comment! I'm not sure about the darker fuller tone, but I feel YUS5 sounds deep, rich, and charming :)

It was a Young Chang console piano. My family had a lot of good memories with it.
@@healingpianosandiego I would have bought it from you it looks very nice and the sound too
Can you tell the difference between it and the Yus1 yamaha in terms of warm or bright?
I’ve had no opportunity to play YUS1 and can’t compare. Good luck in your search!
