    Yamaha U1 - used - if I can find it.

    What's the best avenue for finding this instrument? It seems like a
    pretty popular model, one from which people may upgrade to a grand, I'm guessing.

    Based on what it would cost to move it, I'm thinking using the internet
    to find it is not worth much, right?

    One of the biggest hinderances I've run into is the fact that my wife
    does not want a black finish (ebony... whatever). Anything like brown,
    or red-brown, is cool. It seems like all the stores have black ones.

    Has anyone ever had success with putting an ad in the paper - looking
    for a seller?

    Thanks for any wise input.

    PS - I'm in southeastern PA.
