You're absolutely right.  All of the big hotels have Yamaha GH1's (they look 
the same as the more expensive ones and that part about them not staying in 
tune, who knows the difference when the piano music competes with the water 
fountain in providing "atmosphere").  The Food & Beverage Manager is always 
the one who is in charge of maintenance.  That person always sits in an 
office with no windows and only responds to complaints, not recommendations.

Also, here, the most exclusive, expensive downtown businessmen's club has a 
D. H. Baldwin (Korean made).  When somebody spilled a drink on the lowest 8 
bass strings, making them dead as doornails, nobody noticed for months.  Even 
though the problem was reported when the piano was tuned, they took no 
action.  Finally, someone did complain about it and an urgent call was placed 
to "repair" the problem.  When they were told they had *already* been given a 
quote on how *much* this would cost to fix, they again, took no action.  It's 
pathetic.
