Hi,
I am considering buying a used Yamaha S-40, 3 years old, for 40K. I don't know much about pianos, but I am told by two local technicians that this is a wonderful piano in great condition. I am buying it for my wife, who plays, as a surprise 20th anniversary gift. Do you think this is a reasonable price? It sounds like I should check the serial number to make sure that it's not a grey market item. Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can't really say much on the price, but S series are wonderful pianos. That would be one heck of a surprise gift! Make sure your wife likes playing Yamahas though, as some people prefer the sound of certain brands over others. Since its used, get it checked out by a technician first - the fee you pay is worth it.

Pretty unlikely, and it wouldn't really matter anyway since you probably aren't going to get it serviced by Yamaha - I doubt it's under guarantee and big piano firms usually charge over the odds for servicing.
