Ross > The case parts were not for school. This happened about 15 years ago, when I bought studio that fell off a truck. I ordered several case parts from Yamaha, which not only took 6 months to arrive, but cost at least 5 times more than comparable parts from American piano companies. The reason they cost so much, and it took so long, is because even though the piano was only 3 years old, they had changed the models, and didn't have that model in production any more. They had to pull the specs out of archives, and special make the parts. The same thing happened on a set of bass string, on a piano that only 6 months old. Again, they changed the scale, and had to special order the strings. I've heard this scenario numerous times over the years. That is why II said, It's one thing to make some improvements to the piano, but another to completely change the design and scaling, so many times that replacements parts are not available any more.
