Dreaded by most of us here on the Eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies at
least. They might be fine in some places, but here they are invariably worn
out with flat boards and sold as "ten year old pianos" when they're 35.
How do you explain to a customer that they spent 75% of the cost of a new
piano on something that Yamaha won't even recognize? How do you explain
that you can't voice that thin sound out or that you have to replace parts
to get it to play properly? How do you explain to them why it won't stay
in tune or regulation when their neighbour's used Yamaha grand is perfectly
all right?
I'd rather not have to try to explain these things, especially if there's a
dealer involved as well.
