Eterna?

[Scott Jackson]

Not this time. Forget what is written on the fallboard.
Companies re-use names all the time.

Yes, the Eterna name is used by Yamaha. We had some in Australia years
ago, they were Japanese and the serial numbers followed the Yamaha
models (in the millions). "Tenryo-Gakki-Seizo- K.K." has nothing to do
with Yamaha, and
i can't imagine Yamaha ever making something with 75 notes.

"Tenryo-Gakki-Seizo- K.K." is listed in Pierce #10 as being made in
Hamamatsu Japan. The only serial numbers listed are:

S/N      Year
2600    1955
3100    1957
3520    1958
3750    1960
