<HTML>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) Regards, Richard Galassini Cunningham Piano Co & Factory Philadelphia, Pa.
