Yamaha sells the ERC-10, which is a 44" studio piano, and is made at a special Yamaha - built factory in China, to strict production standards. To my knowledge, this is the only model from Yamaha / pearl river you should be seeing in this country. the ones I have seen were quite nice, and very different from the run of the mill pianos from China.

He said it was made by Yamaha, although I know it was Chinese. I am confused here-Is the dealer lying, or did I mis-understand what he meant? It was not 48" but maybe 40" - 42", just guessing here. Continental polished ebony case. $2600.00 Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.
