    As Terry Farrell said, the T in the serial number indicates =
manufacture in the Thomaston, Ga. facility.
    Current "model series" coming out of here are;
P-22
M-450
M-500
T-116
M-112
And soon to be in production the new P-models, which are essentially =
P-strungbacks with more of a 500 style furniture cabinet.
    Having been here only 3 years, I am not familiar with a T-model =
series except for the above mentioned T-116.=20
    Hope this helps!

  Hello List,

  I am curious for opinions on how these models hold up for others in =
the field. I have had good experience with the U series and frankly all =
Yamaha verticals built in Japan. Is the newer T series built in Japan? I =
hope not. We are not so happy with these so far.

  Also had spotty success with the US built consoles, Michigan built =
LU-11 practically fell apart in a school and although some do OK, I =
don't feel they are designed to hold up like the Jap built models. =
(Nothing to do with American execution, this is a design and material =
issue I think)
