Within the past year I helped my son's piano teacher purchase a 1984 =
Yamaha P-22 in excellent condition for $1,750 in Tampa, Florida. I feel =
that was a fair price for a private sale. I would think yours might be a =
few dollars less in that it is older. However, if the '84 had been on a =
dealer's floor, I would have expected the price to be at least $2,500.
