Yamaha piano ordered

Posted on March 31, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

We finally decided on a piano. A reconditioned Yamaha U3 which is probably as old as I am but sounds really good. We'll see how long it stays good. It's costing a lot of money but we figured that if both Tee and I play it everyday, it.......click to learn what next.
