For a couple of years, I worked for a local retail outlet that handled Yamahas and I asked about the purpose and place of the T-121. "It's the replacement for the P-22" was all I heard. Gee, I didn't know that the P-22 needed a replacement. And, after seeing a number of new 121's, I still thought that. I never did figure out their reason for being. I had no particular problem or issue with them, just puzzlement.
