Hi Ron, Have to agree that these pianos were made purposely with defects to compete with the Korean made pianos and to promote the non H models. Problem is that though the factory and their marketing machine may see it that way, someone forgot to tell the sales people what the differences are so they just sell them. The 5 star hotel at Ayres Rock (Central Australia) has one and I have to ask Why ? Who sold it to them ?, but hey, they just want a piano that looks right at the cheapest price. I believe that the sales staff of the various music stores should be more informed about the products they sell, but, how many of the sales type people care about quality, all they want to do is sell and stay in business. Sometimes staying in business is better than selling quality. It was on a GH1 that I found out that Yamaha's specs on the una corda pedal had changed so I wonder what else has changed ?
