Yamaha U3 upright

The length of the cords is what matters for the sound quality. Yamaha baby grand and UI are both at 45",  too short to be considered professional grade. U3, on the other hand, is the best option. One it is not as expensive as grand pianos, two it is good enough even for professional with 48" cords. That's what I bought.
Unfortunately my kids have neither talent no interest in art in general. I guess I have no one but myself to blame. After all, they got their genes from me.
