I found a 1981 yamaha P22 a little bit from me and am going to check it out. It was built in South Haven Mi, has only had 1 owner and has been meticulously kept serviced with all records. It mostly was used as a piece of furniture and the components are in "A" condition. The sellers are downsizing and will let it go for $600. Can anybody tell me anything I need to worry about with a 1981 yamaha and can anyone provide any info on the uprights coming out of Michigan at that time versus those made in Japan or the Thomaston factory?

What I can say, is that if it has been regularly serviced and lightly used, it's most likely worth the asking price. P22's have long been a staple in the Yamaha line and for good reason. I priced a new one a couple of months ago and with a pretty decent discount, IIRC it was a $5k-ish piano. TNCR. Over 20 years. Over 2,000,000 posts. And a new site... https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club Where pianists and others talk about everything. And nothing.
