I have a customer whose Japanese-born wife is having her childhood Kawai
upright shipped here to Minnesota. I spoke with him about the Yamaha Gray
Market issue and also indicated that I haven't heard of a similar issue with
Kawai. Is it an issue?

I guess it's on its way on a ship right now. Since our summers are
hot'n'humid, it's not an immediate concern, but winter will be here before
we know it with its 10% IRH.  I told him that I MAY recommend a
Dampp-Chaser, and possibly one with a higher humidistat. (Obviously, I'd
love to see them at least put in a standard DC!)

Thoughts? And thanks!
