Yamaha serial numbers

[Paul T Williams]

I wonder when in the 60's...We have several U1's here at UNL that date 
1965 and they're real tough. They have two pedals They get used everyday 
for all these years.  We must have purchased them new as they are all 
consecutive serial numbers and same color..kind of a pecan-y walnut.  I 
bought one we decided to retire last year for my son to learn on.  Works 
great!

Paul

They changed back in the 60's when the first pianos they sent over here 
started developing problems related to dryness.  Loose tuning pins and 
cracked soundboards, mostly.
