I found this on Ebay today...

Looks like the Taiwanese manufacturer he uses knocked off a YAS-23. Or at least I think it's copied from a -23, based on the pinky keys and bell key guard.

I guess one could hope that it's a YAS-61 knock off, though...

I don't have the cash to throw at this, but I wonder... I loved my ancient -23, and if a decent manufacturer is copying Yamahas now... Hmmm.

I played the Windows Media video that he has linked to the auction listing, and the title of the video indicates that this is a Monique. Nothing to get excited about. I doubt that it is the quality of a 23.

I think that's the new.. Monique "Pro" Model, whatever that means.
