Phil, Yamaha has made 85 note pianos, I do believe that I saw some in stores in Japan in '73. I think that there was some mention of discontinuing 85 noters at a certain date, but can't quite remember what year that was. Good chance that it is some shade of grey, but it could have been imported by an individual (I have some customers who brought their piano over here from Asian countries), in fact it could have been made for the European market and then imported. One of my customers has a 85 note M1. Maybe we'll hear from someone at Yamaha - - - Ralph Thorn
