[pianotech] Whassup with Yamaha U1's

[David Love]

The plot thickens.  More of what I was looking for, thank you.  Can you
characterize the difference between the U1 and the U1J in terms of the
overall structural differences, components, etc?

Yes, the Indonesian U1 is known as U1J,
There are 8 digits to the serial number and price is lower by 2 to 3k
compared with the ones made in Japan. They used to make U1 in Taiwan too but
the plant has closed a few years ago.

That's what I was referring to.  Is there an Indonesian built U1 as well?

David,
Not sure what you're referring to, but they're still made in Japan.

What's the manufacturing situation with U1's now (or all U series for that
matter).  I can't get a straight answer.  Any Yamaha dealers out there?  Are
new ones all the same manufacture?  Are some of them Chinese manufacturing?
Fill me in please.
