Hey folks... Really... arent we overstating the problem a bit here ? While I personally like the quality of Yamaha parts... I certainly wouldnt think twice of useing alternatives in the face of the kinds of problems cited in this thread. Yamaha is not the only manufacturer in the world to make fine action parts. You should be able to use other high quality parts to meet your needs Yamaha does what they do for what ever reasons they do, as does evry other major buisness in the world. Boycotting per se will accomplish nothing, and in fact I would suppose that simply accepting their policy in this matter and just as simply getting ahold of alternative parts for whatever pianos are involved would be more then enough of a <<boycott>> anyways. If the amount of market share involved was enough for Yamaha to worry about... they would adjust their policies accordingly. Fix the darn things and be happy in life :) Cheers RicB
