David, I work for a dealer who currently handles Yamaha and has (pre-Gibson) been a Baldwin dealer. I'm not familiar with the 560S but the other two are Yamaha models. The prices seem fair for all. In my experience the 6000 is one of Baldwin's best uprights and I tune a large number of the P22 model in schools and churches. I don't know of anyone using them who's not happy with them. For what it's worth the P22's are much more sensitive to seasonal changes in humidity than the 6000. The M475 is a fairly good home piano. The M475 and the P22 would have been made by Yamaha USA in Thomaston, Georgia. I assume Baldwin was making the 6000's domestically but don't know that for sure. I don't know about the 560. Hope this helps! will On Jan 23, 2009, at 11:07 AM, David Andersen wrote: > My friends----Can you help me with the identification of the > following pianos?
