<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Interesting. Is it that the parts that were ABS, =
are now
carbon-graphite? Or have the ABS parts remained and now other parts are
carbon-graphite? And what might have the carbon graphite parts
replaced?</FONT></DIV>

You, or
someone else, mentioned the EX (I think) series of pianos. I have not =
heard of
that. I am somewhat familiar with the RX series and service a few of =
them. Is
the EX the latest and greatest? How might it compare with the Yamaha C =
series (I
am quite familiar with the Yamys - I make about 500 service calls to =
Yamaha C3s
a year).</FONT></DIV>
