In a message dated 98-03-02 19:23:23 EST, you write: << The GH1B fills a niche for a good quality piano for the non professional pianist, and cannot be made into a professional instrument. Steve Pearson Yamaha piano service >> I wouldn't argue with you on that Steve, but look in any John Q. Hammons Holiday Inn hotel Lobby and you'll find the Yamaha GH-1. I would never expect the hotel management to know the difference between the low end and the high end of Yamaha pianos. They buy the cheapest. Have you ever noticed that it is always the Food & Beverage Manager of a hotel who calls to have a piano "tuned" and wants to know above all else what a "tuning" costs? Ever try to convince the guy who sits at a desk with stacks of papers on it in a windowless room that there is more to piano service than tuning? His immediate answer, of course, is that this is a "new Yamaha" and that he just wants to know what your price for a "tuning" is. I got my two hotel contracts on GH-1's with pianos that could no longer be played, let alone be "tuned". We have real challenges in this business! Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisoconsin
