This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment hello Marc &Tina, Because of the transgenic plants of Yamaha U1 they have grown very fast in number, and actually Yamaha have the problem that they are still in the market, they'd prefer people to buy new pianos for sure. A Japanese customer of mine explain me that Japanes people don't like things that are old or broken, so they rarely have their piano repaired (only serviced for some of them, that should be good enough yet). Then there is a good market for these second hand pianos in Western countries, where we find value in old things (while I doubt of the value of a 30 years old Yamaha) or we pretend that we can play piano but we are unable to buy a good German make, or a new instrument. I have the utmost respect for the rare customers who have bought a good piano for the rest of their life, may be delaying the car replacement a tad. I always try to keep their investment in the better shape possible. This is not the attitude of everytech, particularly the one that work for shops don't care much on long term longevity of their customer's piano (in my experience). On the other hand more talented techs are more prone to drive a workshop themselves, and have probably to offer some good instruments. A good thing to remember if you have to buy a piano. Good luck, while I am unsure I answered your question.

I'm seeing a lot of refurbished U1's on the market that was manufactured in the 1970's. I was wondering if someone could shed some light on why there are so many used U1's available from the 1970's? Should I avoid these or focus on buying a U1 built sometime later? Thanks in advance for your help, Christina ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
