Kawai/Yamaha New Uprights

[Don]

Hi Terry,

Yes I have tuned one. It is the Japan version of the 121 cm upright. I
don't believe it would be a significant upgrade for the client from what
they already have. I have tuned the Malyasian version as well (Kx-21). Just
one of each. The Malyasian version in my case was the better instrument.
Your mileage may vary.
