Hi Dave, Sounds as if you have a grey market piano on your hands. The data plate is how Japanese institutions keep a service record on the instrument. The two pedals were made for the far east markets. The bass strings are quite often shot due to industrial pollution, probably some dealer did a bit of a clean up job on the strings before selling them. The majority of grey market instruments in our area, need re pinning and stringing after a year or so. If you live in a dry climate start checking glue joints on the bridge, cap, and ribs. Hope this may help. Regards Roger Roger Jolly Saskatoon, Canada. 306-665-0213 Fax 652-0505 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
