Hi tuna and PG tuna you are right we were in with Mr Tyan the Petrof agent in Dublin. He offered us a very good deal and because of the 10 year guarantee and back up service and being a new piano we went the extra bit. It was just yesterday we closed the deal. We now own a P118 with a Renner action....

Japanese imports versus new

Hi Been looking at upright pianos for my daughter (blondie) and have been very impressed with the mellow tone of the Yamaha u1,u2 and u3.
