Description

Location: Central London (Clerkenwell / Old Street area)
Access: 9th Floor with large passenger lift (Absolutely NO stairs to navigate)

Description:

For sale is a beautiful Yamaha U1 upright acoustic piano (circa 1972), professionally fitted with a Genio Silent Piano System.

Located in Central London, this piano offers the absolute best of both worlds: the legendary, rich acoustic tone of a classic Yamaha U1, paired with the ability to switch to 100% silent headphone mode—making it the ultimate instrument for London flat living, late-night practice, or avoiding neighbour noise complaints.

The Piano (Acoustic):

- Model: Yamaha U1 (Made in Japan)

- Serial Number: H2442184

- Condition: Very good condition throughout. The casework looks excellent, the keys are clean.

- Touch & Tone: Highly responsive action with a bright, crisp, and clear tone that Yamaha’s 1970s “Golden Era” instruments are famous for.

- The Silent System (Digital):
  - - System: Genio Silent System
  - - How it works: Moving a discreet lever engages a mechanical mute rail that stops the physical hammers from hitting the strings. It activates an optical sensor bar under the keys, transmitting a high-quality digital piano sound directly to your headphones.
  - - Key Feature: Because it uses premium optical sensors, the silent system does not alter the touch, weight, or feel of the acoustic keys when you play.
  Included Extras (Ready to Play):
  - - Piano Stool: Premium, polished gloss-black adjustable-height piano stool—perfectly matching the piano’s finish and fully customizable for proper playing posture.
  - - Headphones: Complete with a pair of Kinsman Classic Stereo Headphones, meaning you can practice silently straight away.
  Logistics & Moving (Easy Delivery Option):
  - - Collection: Buyer arranges and pays for transport.
  - - Hassle-Free Move: To make this completely stress-free, I have already contacted the professional piano movers who originally brought the piano into my property.
  - - Pre-Quoted Delivery Rate: They have quoted a highly competitive rate of £220 to transport it to any ground-floor location within 20km of here, provided there are no stairs at your delivery address. I am very happy to pass their direct contact details on to the successful buyer.
  Serious buyers are very welcome to come and try the piano in person. Please message to arrange a viewing.
