The Entry Point to Excellence: Compact Power with Premium Yamaha Craftsmanship

We are delighted to present the Yamaha YE116, the most compact model in the YE Series—engineered for players who demand authentic acoustic quality and responsive Japanese action in a space-conscious package. The YE116 is the perfect choice for smaller living spaces, studios, and serious students who refuse to compromise on tone and touch, despite its modest footprint.

If you are looking for a high-quality pre-owned acoustic, your search has likely led you toward older, secondhand Yamaha U-series pianos. However, most used U1s available today were built in the 1970s or 1980s and carry half a century of mechanical wear. Directly imported by our team, the YE116 offers a much newer, fresher alternative—giving you pristine action felts, tight tuning pins, and decades more playing life than an aging 1970s import, all at remarkable value for money.

Yamaha Pedigree: Crafted in the Hangzhou Facility

Despite being significantly newer than vintage pre-owned options, the YE116 boasts an outstanding manufacturing pedigree. It was built in Yamaha's state-of-the-art facility in Hangzhou—the world-class, climate-controlled plant that Yamaha chose as the official production home for their renowned B-series line.

Having inspected Yamaha's global production facilities firsthand, we know this plant strictly operates under Japanese engineering standards, using computer-controlled CNC precision and carefully seasoned acoustic timbers. With the YE116, structural resilience, tuning stability, and long-term durability are guaranteed.

116cm Height: Maximum Acoustics in Minimal Space

Standing at 116cm tall, the YE116 is the slimmest member of the range without sacrificing tonal character. This compact height delivers practical advantages:

• Surprising Tonal Depth: The 116cm frame accommodates a solid spruce soundboard and extended bass strings, producing a focused, articulate tone with genuine warmth and clarity—ideal for apartments, bedrooms, and teaching studios.

• Understated, Modern Design: Featuring sleek lines, high-gloss polished ebony, and refined brass hardware, the YE116 integrates seamlessly into contemporary and traditional interiors alike.

• The Perfect Digital Upgrade: For students and advancing pianists transitioning away from a digital keyboard, the YE116 delivers the genuine physical feedback, string resonance, and dynamic control required to master proper technique.
