G'day all, The New South Wales Chapter of the Australian Guild is in the process at the moment of developing something like this for grey market pianos. We have quite a problem with them here, the quality is soooo mixed, that customers can't easily determine which shiny black box is the best one. We are hoping to develop a either a rating system or a "Guild Approved" style standard...there's a huuuuge can of worms being opened here, but we have to do something! I look forward to further input from the list.
