<div>The WX 7 was a really nice piano. So was the WX 3. I believe the backposts were in the shape of an X, among other things. These are among the easiest pianos I've ever tuned. </div>

<div>As Joseph said, the buying public would not be able to appreciate big enough differences between the WXs and the U series to justify the much larger expenditure. Too bad. </div>

mine just bought one (top jazz musician), and he's thrilled.

25 years tuning, and tuned a WX-7 Yamaha for the
first time yesterday, and I have allot of nice pianos
in by database now, lots of U1-2-3 pianos. They must
not have sold a ton of these "WX" pianos.
What a beautiful instrument. Agraffs throughout the
bass and tenor sections, nice mahogany hammers, true
sostenuto pedal, strings render smoothly, clean sound,
great instrument.
Are these still in production, or the equivalent?
A little history, more comments on Yamaha's upper end
uprights would be of interest.
