Looking at the same situation from another angle, I service the Tampa, Florida area. McDill Air Force Base is in Tampa. Many of my clients are in the military. Several of them bought new Yamaha pianos when they were stationed in Japan. They have since moved the piano along with the rest of their family from Japan to Florida. Is Yamaha not going to sell me parts for these pianos?
