[pianotech] Yamaha Question

[John Ross]

Thanks Mark.
You say according to legend. I would think that it would have a definite date.
Wasn't there a story about the factory 'climate' being changed, and the pianos, kind of sealed in plastic.
It was the late 70's when Yamaha Canada, supplied me with pins, and asked me to repin a grand, at a university.
I had sent them a letter saying, I was surprised that the pins were on the loose side.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the serial number of the piano.
