Скачать или смотреть Battle of the Uprights: Yamaha U3 vs Boston UP-132

We put two of the most popular 52-inch upright pianos head-to-head: the Yamaha U3, the larger version of the well-known U1, and the Boston UP-132.

For this comparison, we recorded five short excerpts of classical repertoire on both pianos in the same room, using the same setup and recording equipment, so you can hear the differences for yourself.

For the best experience, we recommend listening with headphones and using the chapters below to jump between pieces. Each excerpt highlights something unique about the instruments, including resonance, sustain, clarity, tonal color, and touch.
