Did my client misunderstand or is the dealer feeding her a line ? >> Jon: As far as I know, Yamaha doesn't do rebuilding. Several years ago I had a similar situation with a Kawai. The salesman, (if you can call him that) insisted the piano was rebuilt at the factory. But I think any one who has done rebuilding can tell if a piano was rebuilt or not, no matter how good a job was done, by either a private rebuilder, or the factory. And this particular piano was not rebuilt. It just looked good for a 15 year old piano. Willem
