Steve and/or list, My question is about a much older piano than what is being discussed here, but I am wondering if a grand I tuned last Saturday is a Pearl River Yamaha. The serial number is: #38060. Symptoms: 1. The only model number I can find is "No. 2" which is cast into the plate 2. It only has two pedals 3. There are no keyframe glides 4. None of the bridges are graphited. Of course, the two pedal thing is what got me to thinking. Just curious.
