Yamaha pianos

[Bud Schwab]

Hi David,

I was a Yamaha dealer for a number of years from 1963 till I retired in 
1982.  I don't know about the more recent Yamahas made in Japan, but the 
first ones that came over here were of course two pedal and they seemed to 
have some trouble with the pinblocks not being treated for our climate.  I 
would think that might have been rectified by now although I don't know if 
it was built for domestic use in Japan.  I'm sure there are technicians on 
this list who have much newer info on the subject, just wanted to stick my 
head in and say hi.

Bud
