>From: "Luc Calande" <luc.calande at versateladsl.be> > >Do Yamaha take all these differences when concepting pianos ??? > I don´t think so. But they argue that the Japanese edition is not so good for elsewhere. Here´s their statement: http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/ContentDetail/Text_WithCatMenu_XC/0,,CNTID%253D12175%2526CNTYP%253DGENERAL,00.html I think it´s just business attitude. Every used Japan piano sold in the USA means that they don´t sell a new one in America (or Europe...). Because the climate argument sounds reasonable it´s a good argument to convince customers to buy a new one. Not reasonable (to me) sounds the argument that no parts for theses pianos can be delivered. I am shure that the parts inside are exactly the same all over the world. The only difference might(perhaps) be that some parts are glued with a different glue.
