Hello. Sorry for English in advance. Can someone tell me please, where manufactured this piano yamaha E116T with serial number without letter prefix? And average cost? ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/J51BZsx/5423652620.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/2cDHx46/5423701995.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/ryTS8GB/5423702153.jpg) I read various resources, but confused with various information. "If the serial number begins with a "T", the piano was manufactured in Thomaston, Georgia." But my serial don't have T prefix in number. Can a piano be made in 100% Japan?

It says "Made in Japan", so I wouldn't doubt that.
YAMAHA manufactures many pianos in Japan - in some case, particularly for more up-market pianos, they might use German et al strings, hammers etc, but they usually advise that in their advertising.

Previous post by Clark is wrong" If it says "MADE IN JAPAN" on the piano, I'm certain it wasn't made in USA. Why - are you having an issue with one?

I want to know differences in price and quality of 116 pianos between made in Japan, USA and Indonesia. If this piano made in Japan will it cost much expensive than USA and Indonesia?

Where are you - your profile is blank.
Here in Australia, the Indonesian YAMAHAs aren't as good, but are cheaper than the Japanese ones. No idea of USA ones.
