[CAUT] Yamaha C&A pianos...

[David Ilvedson]

Hi Alan,

You might want to take it up with Yamaha.    I would imagine they want it available for Concert Artists as another piano to choose from.   This would be a great time to try to get into the Concert Piano Technician seminar in LA with Yamaha.   I did it and it was an eye opener...
