B元1 is taller than Yamaha u1 and taller upright offers a richer sound. The good felt on the hammers create a rounder tone and huge dynamic range. I cant really tell the difference between the special editions, but one think i can assure you, the hammers definitely makes everything sound better as these hammers were also used on Steinway pianos. Both were seen using Louis Renner hammer and Abel Hammers. I have only sold Matsuzakaya model twice in my piano careers but i came across more Mitsukoshi. My Japanese supplier told me both models were introduced in the 1980s and only 100,000 units made in the world. Same goes to MATSUZAKAYA, which i cant find too much information online. The Mitsukoshi edition has a architectural features infront of the front board in the front cover and the logo “MITSUKOSHI” on the iron frame. I have no idea why would a company put their names on a piano to celebrate their company success, and Mitsukoshi is like a departmental store in Japan. According to him, MITSUKOSHI models are exclusively sold by Mitsukoshi corp Japan as their 90th years company celebration. I have research online regarding these versions and also consulted with my piano SIFU in Japan, Mr Narushima Sensei, a 70 years old experience Piano Technician. These versions are the even more premium than B元1 special, in terms of rarity and exclusiveness, i would say its a collectible piano for most piano lovers.
