deep thoughts: climate control??

[Clyde Hollinger]

Wayne,

Yes, I think climate control is good for any piano.  I suggested it to a
customer who bought a gray market Yamaha grand, but he waited until he sold
that piano and bought a brand new C1 made for our country.  As far as I know
I have never serviced a gray market vertical.

Whether it will keep the piano from common gray market problems is open to
conjecture on my part.  Maybe someone else knows.

Regards,
Clyde
