Hyundai U-822 Upright Piano in Mahogany with Bench — 88 Keys

This is a Hyundai U-822 upright piano, serial number HHF00934, finished in polished mahogany and paired with its matching padded bench. A full 88-key studio upright, the U-822 is part of Hyundai’s respected U-800 series, built during the late 1980s and early 1990s in South Korea by Hyundai in collaboration with Samick and later Young Chang, two of the country’s leading piano manufacturers.

Designed as a studio upright, the U-822 offers taller cabinet dimensions (44″ high) and longer string length than a spinet or console, giving it a richer, more resonant tone. The action is known for being responsive and even, comparable to mid-range Kawai instruments of the same era. With its polished mahogany veneer, brass hardware, and three-pedal configuration, this model balances aesthetic appeal with practical performance.

Hyundai pianos are often praised for their solid construction and reliable engineering, making them a durable choice for homes, schools, and studios. The U-822 in particular has been widely used in teaching environments thanks to its stable action and bright, clear sound. While less well-known than Yamaha or Kawai, Hyundai uprights have earned a reputation as well-built, value-driven instruments, often outperforming expectations for their class.

Condition

In good, fully functional condition overall. Shows surface scratches and scuffing throughout, with some chipping along the lower base and other isolated areas as shown in the photos. One sticky key noted, though the instrument remains playable across the full range. Soundboard intact, pedals working, and tone consistent. With a professional tuning and minor servicing, this piano is ready for continued daily use.
