Hi Ron, The changes came about 5yrs ago I think, (Not too sure) About the time they dropped the G series grands, and started making the C1 and C2. Previous rims were "select hardwood". The changes were made to give the soundboard better support, and a more reflective perimeter. Certainly the C1 and C2, was a big improvement over the G1 and G2. When voiced down they sing very nicely. Roger At 09:54 PM 8/24/01 -0500, you wrote: >>Hi Ron, >> The current Yamaha C3 rims are made from Maple and >>Menckulung.
