gray market

[Don]

Hi Michele,

The problem is one of parts from Yamaha. Of course a G3 that is that old
Yamaha doesn't have parts for so after market parts would be needed. The
other issue is controlling humidity very carefully.

As this piano has served two lifetimes (one in Japan and one here) it may
need a total rebuild. Costs would exceed any possible fair market value.
