TV's and cars only last 5 - 10 years. If a10 year old TV or car breaks down, it is probably time to buy a new one any way. But pianos are supposed to last 50 - 75 years. One of my complaints about the Japanese pianos is that even after 5 years, it is sometimes difficult to get parts for them. It's one thing to improve on the product. But why do they have to redesign the piano entirely, and stop making a certain model? The flip side is that I can get parts for 100 year old Steinways. My concern is if I will be able to get Boston parts 50 years from now. (Well, not me personally, but you know what I mean.)
