Terry;
 Yamaha, just as other manufacturers do, changes their parts design from time 
to time and from model to model. I don't think that I have ever found a part 
belonging to a "grey market" piano that Yamaha did not produce a replacement 
part for, action wise. Producing it and selling it to us are two different 
policy matters though, and Yamaha has taken the position of not supplying 
"grey market" piano parts...that is their perogative.  With several other 
sources of supply for these thingees though, obtaining parts for 'any' Yamaha 
has never been a problem.
