Secondhand Yamaha Piano Questions

“How old is my Yamaha U1?”

How can I find the age of a used Yamaha U1 that we bought about 5 years ago, so our daughters could take lessons
( the lessons didn’t take, but they do play other instruments.)

The complete number is   U1  J 3102165

Is there a place we can look up the ‘pedigree’ or year of creation for our Yamaha upright ?

Thanks awfully for your help.

Since the pandemic, I decided to spend far more time practising. I have a lovely Yamaha piano, which is two years old and I am a lot more proficient as a result of more practise. I’ve even done a few (amateur) live performances in a 3-piece ensemble once a month!

I bought a decent case from you when I worked in North London, nice shop. But unfortunately moved (far) away from London after retiring from my career in London.

Happy to keep in touch though.
