Made in Japan, but not for US distribution? But it sure doesn't have any issues and is as fine an upright as I've ever played.Īs I went over the piano carefully, I found a simple English message on the back-Made in Japan. This made me think that my piano was a grey market piano. And it has a "B" leading it, and there's no information on any web site saying what that means. The serial number does NOT show up as a piano made for US sales. It made me curious and I started researching. My piano tuner looked at my serial number and sort of went "hmmm" and said nothing else. I was told that it was only a few years old.


It was the first significant purchase my wife and I made when we got married. I bought my Yamaha U1 about 30 years ago.
