Yamaha C5 model question?

[Overs Pianos]

Hi all,

One of my clients, who is a fine jazz pianist, is looking for a 
replacement grand piano for his home recording studio. I suggested 
that he should seek out a late model Yamaha C5,  since it is the only 
C5 with a respectable string scale (the earlier models all had the 
dropping tension problem in the low treble due to the slight hockey 
stick turn-in). Also, in the latest model, Yamaha have finally done 
away with the suspended bass bridge, which is another plus (I realise 
that the C3 is still plagued by this problem, and the resultant short 
back scale in the low singles - unfortunately, this is almost a 
generic problem with 6' grand pianos). I have recommended the C5 to 
quite a few folks based in my positive experience with them in recent 
years.

My client is looking for a second hand instrument since he is also 
budget limited. My question to the Yamaha-files amongst you is;

At what serial no. range was the latest scale design introduced?

Thanks in advance,
Ron O.
