[pianotech] Seasoned Wood

[James Grebe]

Is this somewhat like the sticker on Aeolian-American pianos, "Built in 
America by American Craftsman"?

Greetings,

I already deleted the emails on the topic, but I remember someone mentioning 
recently that the rumor of Yamaha seasoning their wood for specific markets 
was false.  Today, while I was tuning a 2007 Yamaha C2 at one of the nearby 
High Schools, I cam across this sticker on the plate and thought I'd post it 
here.  It appears that they DO season their wood for specific markets.

In case my poor photography skills make it difficult to read, it says, "This 
piano is for sale in the North American market only. The factory has 
seasoned all wood materials exclusively for this market"
