The GB1 (Cable nelson) is the ONLY yam grand built in indonesia, according to Greg, a tech at Yamaha corp. He did not have good things to say about the GA1, and admits the GH1 (Always made in Japan from first 1977 to last 1992) is not great either, but was made as an affordable entry level grand.

There was a discussion about this not too long ago. I tuned a GP1 a couple weeks ago. It didn't seem so bad, but it needed voicing like crazy and I couldn't get permission to change it. The GB1 is the current model and is pretty good for a little piano. I haven't worked on any G1s, just a bunch of G2s which I think are OK. There is no sostenuto in the (current models) GB1 or GC1, but there is sostenuto in the GC2.

Every one I've seen is pretty bad. Aren't most made in Indonesia? The GH1 and also GA1 seem a far cry from the vastly superior (and Japanese made) G1. Your thoughts?
