Were the pianos in question bought from Doremi?

Andrew,   No, I've never heard of that specific company.  I meant to comment 
on grays in general that I have seen in the Chicago area.

The gray market pianos should be treated with caution.  I've seen some with 
new pinblocks, that weren't too bad. I've seen some that were mostly original, 
35 years old and may have come out of a school where they were played to 
death. The pinblocks were very iffy on  some of these. Also, they showed up with no 
hammer filing (that was badly needed), and sold by dealers that don't offer 
such 'advanced' service. Further, Yamaha is on the warpath against these and 
you can't get beans from them without a serial #, and they check every time. I'm 
not saying they're wrong, that's just the way they're doing this. I don't 
think the grays are that good of a deal anyway, half the price and almost totally 
used up.
