[CAUT] Yamaha T118

[Barbara Richmond]

The case design (including the music rack) of the P22 is a winner in institutions, I think. The T118 has that funky all-in-one piece front & fallboard which may or may not be an issue. Otherwise, they both tune up nicely.

List, 

Can you tell me what experiences you have had with Yamaha T118s? We are ready to get at least one new piano and are not sure about P22s or T118s. We have gotten U1s and love them but with the economy the way that it is we have had the budget cuts that many, if not most, have gotten. We have had Steinways and found the U1 to be a better instrument. I have also had experiences with Bostons at another university that I had worked at and was totally unimpressed with them. We do have Boston grands at ONU and nobody likes them. We do have two old Yamaha P2Cs at ONU that are 37 years old and are still going strong even after being used in practice, teaching, and classroom use. I just needed to install new hammers. It is because of this durability that we are going with Yamaha. I know that they are not perfect, but no piano is. Thanks for your help. 

God bless
