My mom is buying me a new Yamaha T121 upright piano for Christmas

Hi. I've been lurking in the shadows and reading posts for a while, but have never posted. I'm not a kid. I'm 40, married with two children. I played clarinet all through school, have played guitar, sang professionally in bands and sang national commercials, and play some celtic fiddle.
I had a little organ lessons when I was a kid, when my mom & dad bought one of those awful organs that you used to see in mall "music" stores. The kind that does the rhythm, and you only press down one note and it does the chord for you? Remember those?
Anyways, I have wanted to play piano for a while and when I turned 40 a few months back I decided this would be the year to take up something new. When my mother was visiting over Thanksgiving holiday, we went into a music store. A lady there was demonstrating several kinds of pianos, but we fell in love with the Yamaha that was there. It's their "Professional" line and it's a 48" upright, T121 model, shiny black and gorgeous.
She called tonite and said she's buying it for me for Christmas. I know this sounds extremely spoiled, but I've never had anything happen to me like this before. My dad died a few years back and she's getting old. I think she just wants to do something nice that I will keep forever, hopefully.
Anyways, what do you know about this piano? Love to hear your review for anyone who's had one.
Thanks for listening.

You must have given her a hell-of-a-nice gift for Mother's Day

This is the piano I have! (Yamaha T121) It is a great instrument. Although I wish i t had more of a dynamic range than it does. BIG sound.

We have T121s in our practice rooms at school. Unfortunately the cursed musical theatre students always bang on them so they go out of tune in a matter of hours. It's probably one of the brightest uprights I've played...not in a good way. It's also hard to play notes in rapid succession (can't practice Islamey) because of the action, but maybe this is true of all uprights. Blasted gravity.

I bought one in May, 2004. Now the sound has got less bright, but the advertised 'tuning stability' has not appeared yet !
