Sunny Days Junior Member Registered: 02/29/04 Posts: 1	Hello, Could anyone tell me what to choose between a used YAMAHA YU3 or a new PETROF P125 M1 (126 cm.)? I am totally new for this but would like to get one for my kid to start learning. The YU3 (5.5 million series number) is now probably 8 years old (reconditioned by the dealer). PETROF is said to be made in Czechkoslovakia with some German parts inside. PETROF's price is slightly higher than a used YU3 in my town. Many thanks.

I just happened to play a used U3 and a brand new P125 side by side yesterday. $\:D$ I would describe the U3 as being consistent, not too bright a tone as other smaller Yamaha uprights. My preference is with the Petrof 125 - nice mellow and romantic-sounding tone. It's my favourite upright from the Petrof range. Just my preference.
