I have constitute one that I am very interested in but I am wondering if this is a off-white price. When I looked at the hammers, they looked similar there was still quite a scrap of life left in them with the mid range having minimal vesture and the bass and treble looking untouched. Were they replaced at i time, reshaped, or only unused? I am going to get a piano tech to look over it because I know there are many other factors to consider. UX1
made in 1983
brought to the states virtually 3 years ago and sold to a new owner by "Do Re Mi" Company & supposedly "refurbished" (as we all know this is an ambiguous term!)
2009-2011 owned by a law student who sold information technology when moving
polished ebony
delivery included
one tuning included
five twelvemonth parts & labor warranty
$4495 (said they can't go lower than $4000) How do U1 and UX1 really compare?
Is this a concern about it existence in Nihon that long?
Are these pianos from the '80s considered the golden era?
Is this price reasonable? Thank you! | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 521 500 Post Social club Member | | 500 Post Club Member Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 521 | The question of the century is back. Beak Gates should buy every Greyness Market place piano on earth to solve this big contend. I have a new nickname for refurbished, I telephone call it "A Haircut and a Shave". That means yous will need another ane soon. The UX1 is a killer pianoforte from what I heard on Pow. Price too loftier or depression, you need to ask Pianobroker nigh that. I saw a German language video of a Kawai Chiliad-ii tuned perfectly, and man that petty piano sounded neat. If you want something without a lot of miles, purchase something with no miles. Effort pianos in your price range brand new you might be surprised. Merely make sure they are tuned right. I never heard a K-2 sound like this German language video one. I estimate they prepped the heck out of it.

Also, terminal year or so there was a video, youtube, of a young concert pianist playing a Yamaha P22 for a high school class that showed what that piano could produce. I wish I had saved that link. Both very overnice pianos. | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 7,439 7000 Post Lodge Fellow member | | 7000 Post Guild Member Joined: January 2007 Posts: seven,439 | Krn, UX1 is an upgraded U1, nearly always (if not always) a grey-market import. It'south a little beefier than the standard U1. The nigh obvious departure is in the backposts. X series have a radial design in the shape of an X. DoReMi is a market leader in greyness-market place import. They take a expert reputation and a lot of dealers buy from them. The pattern of hammer vesture indicates light use. I kind of doubt the hammers were replaced at any indicate, but that'due south simply a gut feeling. If pianobroker doesn't hop on your thread, you could find him in the user directory and send a PM. $4k is a lot for a Yamaha vertical headed toward its thirtieth altogether, but that may well be the going charge per unit in the Midwest. I think it could exist had a scrap cheaper in SoCal, but non a lot. Go it inspected.Judging from what you've said, my guess is it would come up upward clean, but I wouldn't spend 4k on my guess. | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 521 500 Post Gild Fellow member | | 500 Postal service Club Member Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 521 | Is that video available to view? Besides, concluding twelvemonth or so in that location was a video, youtube, of a immature concert pianist playing a Yamaha P22 for a loftier school class that showed what that piano could produce. I wish I had saved that link. Both very nice pianos. I was looking for that Yamaha P22 video as well, I think that. I idea the P-22 would catch on fire. I will PM that video, if I find it.

No miles. What people get for these ancient, clangy sounding U-i'southward is criminal and all because someone decided they were the "safety bet" in used asian pianos. Piano Banker had this OUTSTANDING 80'due south total size Baldwin Vertical and I think he was asking $3500.

No miles. What people become for these ancient, clangy sounding U-1'southward is criminal and all because someone decided they were the "condom bet" in used asian pianos. Kurtz, Do you lot feel better now?  What people get depends of course on what people are willing to pay. Obviously, no one person sets the marketplace price. Also, what goes around comes effectually. People who buy these used pianos and sell them later have found a market willing to give them back most of what they paid. "Clangy?" Well, that's your stance. When a maker keeps the same model from the same factory in production for decades and those pianos outlive the expectations of the supposedly 'smart' piano people in the Due west, that company and that model earn the reputation of being a safe bet, and used samples are in need and control a good price. The gray marketplace Yamaha biz in the US wouldn't exist if need didn't exceed bachelor supply. BTW, guess what used vertical is nigh in demand in Europe where all the fabled craftsmen are running around in their Lederhosen? When a maker builds a few winners and lots of losers over the course of xxx years, changing designs and model names frequently, and blowing out all its tires financially forth the fashion,its reputation every bit a 'prophylactic bet' suffers and its depreciation bend is steep. Maybe both the rewards and the penalties are excessive, merely the market place makes that determination. You may have gotten great bang for your cadet, only the OP isn't asking about new Young Chang pianos. | | Forums43 Topics212,696 Postsiii,185,314 Members105,024 | | Most Online15,252
