Kevin, List,

Major problems is quite a generalization. Could you perhaps be more 
specific as to what constitutes major problems, please? And 90% of 
how many pianos, the ones that you service, ones that you have 
documented from other sources in Arizona, ones that people talk have 
reported in your chapter, region, state level, just what exactly?

And the usually sooner or later thing is kind of a speculative 
comment at best. If major problems haven't happened that can be 
documented, sooner or later doesn't seem to be a factor that can be 
allowed to enter into any equation.

Other than Yamaha's website, if you do have actual case histories to 
support your statement, I would consider that *extremely* relevant 
information, because that's 9 out of 10 pianos, 90 out of 100.

Very hard for me to accept such a ratio is a reality.

Sincerely,
