Yamaha LU90 ...and other indonesian attrocities

[Roger Jolly]

Glad I'm not the only one that hears the offensive tone (out of the box) in
these entry level pianos. We have to voice 100% of them, once done they are
a good buy, as a Yamaha product.  I do not like to sell anything less than
what the public has come to expect, from this fine piano company.
Regards Roger
