Chinese made Yamaha P22s - update

[John Ross]

Why would anyone even suggest having them made in China.
That is the reason that our (Canada and the US) manufacturing industry, does 
not have the jobs they once had.
Those cheap products, have cost us many jobs.
Oh yes, don't get me wrong, I have been as guilty as the rest of us, by 
buying those cheaper products.
Perhaps I am being too simplistic, and it was just inevitable.
