Yamaha Mia P-E upright console piano

[piscadero]

I am in the process of buying a Yamaha Mia P-E for my two daughters. After searching online for quite a long time, I have not found any pertinent information about this piano. The serial number is 2524812. It was manufactured in 1979. The asking price is $900. It is in excellent shape and plays beautifully.  A concern I have is that the tuning pins are somewhat rusted even though the piano is in excellent condition. My question is, is this a good piano and is it worth the asking price? Any advice or comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

$900 is steal for that type of piano... A little rust is not a huge deal, but make sure it is not pervasive throughout the piano.  Dead (single) bass strings are common when humidity is high.  Also check that the Hammer Flange return spring loops have not started to break (a common problem for Yamaha uprights manufactured in that era)... The piano will play with those broken, but it can create a problem when the sustain pedal is depressed (less pressure pushing back on the wippens, and no pressure from the hammer flange).  A technician can replace the Flanges pretty easily if necessary.  Good luck!
