  Anybody have any information on the difference between Yamaha pianos =
built=20
  in Japan for Japanese distribution versus ones for US distribution.  I =
have=20
  a customer looking at a U1, 15 years old that falls into the made for=20
  Japanese distribution category.  It has only two pedals, otherwise =

  not obvious difference.

      It used to be that the only difference between Japanese Yamahas =
and American Yamahas was that 1) all the grands were made in Japan, 2) =
the verticals made in Japan were entirely made in Japan whereas the =
verticals "made" in the U.S. had plates, strings, action and keys from =
the factory in Japan, but the cases and assembly were done at the =
Everett factory in Michigan, which Yamaha bought.  The "import" =
verticals had slightly nicer hardware, smoother plate finish, and maybe =
slightly better quality control but otherwise not much difference.  =
Whether this is still true or not I don't know, but I'm sure any Yamaha =
dealer or company literature would explain. =20
