What is the name of Song 7:24 ????

1970s U1 or U3 is the best.

Absolutely love the U3. Enjoy!! Beautiful playing!!

Piano 1 2:10 Piano 2 3:49 Piano 2 5:11

🎉😢please let me know about the prices of u 1and u 3 paying by instalments

I'm a bit too sensitive at high-pitch sounds, compared at 5:11 (U1) and 2:09 (U3) and the difference is very surprising! (Love the U3 btw)

Beautiful playing along with toddler she is beautiful

1970s U3 had the richest sound in my opinion and the most harmonics, particularly in the treble. Would go for the 1970s U1 if you like the brighter sound.

I had a 1987 U3 before my Steinway grand and it was fannnntastic! It was bold and complex sounding and I miss it, I should have kept it too but I couldn’t afford the upkeep on two pianos.

You're not too shabby yourself, Mark, if you're playing a Rachmaninov prelude!

U-1 early 1980s far better than all U-3's demonstrated. IN fact I found one of these here in Berkeley.. 1983 U-1--but it would be nice to tune the piano however. Second best U-1 late 1970s. PLEASE TUNE ALL THE PIANOS before comparing.. so many of the Yamahas sound stringy--brassy--awful...

Hi. is the U1A from 1980s the same as the U1. Is it any good

Where can I buy those shoes from..

2:55 cuteee 💗

I like how you broke up the clips to 2 seconds on each. I wish everyone comparing piano's would do this.

I think a mellow u3 is fantastic.

Yamaha pianos are all manufactured in the same factory. They all have the same strings, soundboard and basic structure - especially 1970's-1980's. Medium, mellow or bright sound will depend on only a few factors. If the piano has been played to buggery and has not been maintained it will be very bright. Basically the "brightness"of any piano comes down to the condition of the hammers. Very hard (compact) hammers (very played) will produce a very bright sound. Brand new hammers will produce a beautiful mellow, accoustic sound. If your piano is too bright, you should ask the supplier or tuner to regulate your piano. This involves "Pinning" the hammers to make them softer as well as ensuring everything is balanced and even within the action of the piano. So in summary, every decent piano should be mellow, accoustic and musical. Avoid secondhand bright pianos as they have been most likely played to death and not maintained...

I want to ask my type of my piano, my serial number is X 2284250.

Cute baby walking around, so cute. ;) Great store of pianos.

Very nice video. It leaves open the question of where these differences come from. Different usage over the years? Different materials used in manufacturing in different years? U1's being inherently brighter than U3's? Also knowing the microphone used could give indications about the difference between what we hear here and what we would have heard if we were there in person :-) The difference between the U3s and the U1s here may be comparable with the difference you obtain when switching microphone on the same piano...

testing testing testing 1 2 3 @markgoodwinpianos

Love the 1st and 2nd songs played by Mark, could anyone please tell me the names? Thank you

whats the second song david plays? loved that one

Give me

Brilliant! I want a U3 as well

Hi. I find the mic that you used for recording here very good. Can I know what mic you are using?

sour notes on teh 80s like spoilt milk

You're right about the misconception about Yamaha's equal bright. They range in tone as you point out. Yet you see that a lot in comments on Yamaha. And the newer ones, and even the YUS Yamahas have a different type of tone to these. There's more of a bloomed sustained tone to the YUS pianos, and the CX grands and high-end SX and CF Yamahas.

yamaha dgx660 sound better than this video

What´s the name of the second song? 2 min15 So dramatic

Thanks a lot for your comparison.

I mean from different store, I'm in USA.

how do you go about getting a medium one? do you need to request one?

Beutiful ! To buy old "Bechstein"- my dream.

I'm 15 years old live in Philippines I'm been dreaming to have a piano ...but I have piano 45 keys old piano called organ . Mr... How can I win that piano ..... Plz..

I love the U1

Great comparison video! Why is the pitch on the Early 80's U3 higher than the rest? Not much higher, but a few cents higher?

70s u3. well balanced sound

they both sound the same

Vote for 1907 U1 and 1980 u3. the sound so great! Highly than others

does anyone know if when you play a piano and there are others around like in here, if the other pianos strings ressonance with the vibration of the other pianos? tks

whats the second song mark plays

You should try a drill, I use one on my OTLVISE

I've linked to each song on each piano (by Mark and then David) to help me compare - hopefully it'll help you too. Mark - Song 1 2:09 - U3 Medium/Mellow 1976 3:47 - U3 Medium 1978 5:10 - U1 Bright Mark - Song 2 2:26 - U3 Medium/Mellow 1976 4:01 - U3 Medium 1978 5:30 - U1 Bright Mark - Song 3 2:52 - U3 Medium/Mellow 1976 4:23 - U3 Medium 1978 5:40 - U1 Bright David - Song 1 7:29 - U3 Medium/Mellow 1976 9:27 - U3 Medium 1978 11:30 - U1 Bright David - Song 2 8:36 - U3 Medium/Mellow 1976 10:31 - U3 Medium 1978 12:35 - U1 Bright

You must have 'absolutely wanted' a brand new U3 more than this ancient piano which can NEVER be anywhere near as good as a new U3 or U1. I'm aware there is a significant cost difference between old and new U series but the much wiser shopper 'bites the bullet' and purchases a new piano. Don't bother doing it on the cheap!

Thank you!

Hi Would u compare he Yamaha u3 and Kawai us 6x ?? Which one do u prefer more ?

Who could dislike this video? It's great. I love the way you show the different brightness of the pianos and I love the pieces David plays, they're so fast and fun, what a show off ( insert big simile face here)!! I'm looking for a baby grand, do you have any?
