Used Yamahas from Japan?

[Gregory Torres]

Walter,

Generally it wouldn't be a problem unless you live in in a very dry
climate and subject the piano to constant drying conditions. If you were
to keep it in a controlled temp/humidity situation (Dampp Chaser complete
system) and it is in good condition to start with you shouldn't have any
problems.

Regards,
Greg Torres
