Grey market pianos is the reason. I'm guessing Europe isn't flooding with container loads of used=3D20 Japanese market pianos? Or, if it's as much a phenomenon in Europe = as=3D20 it is becoming here, there may be Common Market/EU regulations = which=3D20 restrict Yamaha from restraining their sales of repair parts. I'm = just=3D20=3D guessing -- anyone know for sure?" Patrick et al, No I don't know "for sure", but let's face it, All manufacturers are in = the business of build/selling UNITS. If we rebuild one piano, that = subtracts from their UNIT SALES! Ohmygawd, Heavenforbid! PHTSZZZZT! = That's my response to this idiocy.=20 The only difference between Yamama and other manufacturers is that they = are big enough to make it stick. (at least for those of us in the USA) = Most of the other manufacturers have chosen to placate us and use PR. = Because of this, I no longer recommend Yamamas, even tho they are well = made pianos.
