- Many people ask me what the difference is between a Yamaha U1 and U3. They also often ask what the difference is between a 70s and 80s U1 or U3. So I've made this video to help address that question

I'm Brazilian, and I really enjoyed the video! Comparing the sound so you did which was very helpful for me. thank you!
Obrigado. Muito Prazer. Falo um poco de Portuguese :)
I like how you broke up the clips to 2 seconds on each. I wish everyone comparing piano's would do this.
Thanks a lot for your comparison.
the girl is so cute!
Nice comparison, very well done. Love the little child trying to play once the music starts. :-)
Love the baby !
I love the U1
70s u3. well balanced sound
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.
1980s U3 sounded twangy to me.. Perhaps a tuning issue? In fact, so did the 1980s U1, I reckon.
Hi. is the U1A from 1980s the same as the U1. Is it any good
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?
My apologies, we should have worked harder at making sure the pianos were in tune and at the same pitch before pressing record. I hope the video was still useful regardless?
Thanks

Late 70s U3, that would be my choice :)
The early 80s U3 seemed out of tune.
If I could turn back time we'd spend more time getting the pianos all perfectly in tune before pressing record. Sometimes, though, you've got to just go with the flow, press record and hope that you got most things right to a good enough standard to make a useful video. I hope you liked it overall? :)
🎉😢please let me know about the prices of u 1and u 3 paying by instalments
I would choose the 80's U1 and the 70's U3 because the 80's U3 has this twang to it...
I just recently got a late 90's U1 (made for N. American market).. I was looking at the cabinetry on the current u1 on the Yamaha website and it looks identical to mine.. do you know of any material differences between the u1 from the 80s, 90s, and 21st century models? I know someone who has a 1992 u1 and it is designated u1F.. mine is just u1 and so are the newer models.
Hi sorry for the very very slow reply. You might enjoy the article I wrote here: www.markgoodwinpianos.co.uk/info/difference-u1-u1g-u1h-u1a

What's the name of the song and the author, at 3min32?
Liebestraume No.3 by Franz Liszt. Such a Beautiful piece eh?
may i ask what equipment/ mics did you use to record?
Trade secret, sorry ;)
2:55 cuteee 💗
Good video. Wonderful piano's. Win the lottery - that's what my house will look like. :-)
Chopin's "Raindrop" prelude
The early 80's model U3 was so badly out of tune that it sounded really... crap.
Definitely the Early ‘80s U3. Love it.
The Man why it’s out of tune
My apologies, we should have worked harder at making sure the pianos were in tune and at the same pitch before pressing record. I hope the video was still useful regardless?

jajaja the little baby is very cute!!
Good video!
Thanks :)
what are the names of the songs?
Chopin's Raindrop prelude. Also Liebestraume No.3 by Franz Liszt
Haha baby made me laugh. Very funny, and good comparison Mark
1970s U1 is THE BEST!
Nice username. www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/461337555569998384
What´s the name of the second song? 2 min15
So dramatic
It is the same as the first one... Chopin´s magic
Early 1980s U3 . Es la mejor piano Yamaha :3 bueno para mi.
Is Better :D
Vote for 1907 U1 and 1980 u3. the sound so great! Highly than others
OMG I fall in love with you...... ...
You fall in love too easily lol :)
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...
1970s U1 or U3 is the best.
Felt That U3 Early 80s is Better...
they both sound the same
sour notes on teh 80s like spoilt milk
My apologies, we should have worked harder at making sure the pianos were in tune and at the same pitch before pressing record. I hope the video was still useful regardless?

I want to ask my type of my piano, my serial number is X 2284250.
You have a Yamaha X made in Japan in 1976. The quality is very high and you can read more about the X model (and other similar models) at www.markgoodwinpianos.co.uk/info/difference-u3-u30a-u30bl-yu30-ux-ux3-yu3s-yu3sxg-yu5sxg-yua
Both the U1's are out of tune.
Early 80s sounds heaps better then the 70s U3
