2 pedal Yamaha

[Roger Jolly]

HI David,
              I bought 3 off shore Yamaha grands, and ended up completely
repinining and stringing, replacing dampers, hammers, shanks and rebushing
the keys. Most of the units that I have seen will NOT last through a prarie
winter, without giving serious problems.
My advice be very carefull, check the dealership to see if they will stand
behind the warranty  if any, if the dealer is not prepared to give a full
parts and labour warranty for at least 2 years, tell your client that it is
not such a good deal.
Regards Roger
