looking to replace my upright...

[Stephen Airy]

That was a few years ago, before I began seriously educating myself. 
Unfortunately, they have no plans to get it changed out for another one. 
(They got it as a gift in early 1999.  We did look at some larger pianos,
up to 6 foot, but my grandparents decided to get her the YC.)  I would
even be happy with a small Yamaha, so long as if it was under 6 foot it
had a Disklavier system on it, for example A GH1, GP1, or even an A1.

Stephen,

Make it a project.  Voice it, tune it, regulate it, and you may end up
with 
something almost playable.  Granted, it will never be great, but you'll
gain 
some experience and end up with something better than what you started
with.

You're in the piano business.  How could you let your parents buy one of 
those??
