Took delivery of a used Yamaha U3 piano at the house two days ago.

Shopping for a used piano is similar to shopping for a used car; very time consuming and frustrating.  After visiting many stores (twice) and pursuing some private sales, I purchased this piano from a specialist in importing reconditioned pianos from Japan.

The next challenge was to find economical transportation to the house.  It all worked out and I was playing happily on a real piano again.
