Willem, Yamaha quit using butt plates back in the 70's. I would agree that before then butt plates were a problem and the pin centers needed to be checked at every service call, but since that time I haven't experienced any difficulties. Yamahas certainly play better than most Baldwin Studios. The touch remains more consistant with the aging/use process.
