[pianotech] Yamaha U-1 Studeo Upright

[Piano Boutique]

Remanufactured ranks right up there with rebuilt.   In this case it seams to be cleaning up the piano for resale.

Japanese keep their pianos like new.   They seldom by used, but discard and replace with new.   Where houses take them in; clean up the regulation, hammers and finish and then send them to the market in America where there are bargain hunters.   I get them for about $2,000 and $200 to get delivered.   Sell for $4,000 with another $200 for delivery.   They usually are in great shape with nothing but a complementary tuning that is a breeze.

There you have it, $2,400 down and $1,600 take home with a short stop out of the day:  I can live with that.

William

  What does remanufactured mean in this case?

    Of course it's not a bad price. Being that it is remanufactured, it is very likely much better than new. How can you beat that?

      $4000 isn't a bad price, considering that a new one is almost twice as much

        Remanufactured for resale for $4K?  That's silly. What planet is this occurring on?

          The U-1 has many models.   I can order the U-1-H and it has toes on the front legs and is a sturdy studio piano.   They are remanufactured for resale in America for $4,000.
