What I do know, is that they do a great rebuilding job. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>I have been buying their rebuilt Yamaha C3's and G3's and reselling them for years. They are holding up very well. The rebuilding factory is in Japan. I have only purchased what they call R&R (refinished and refurbished). They look like new. Plate, soundboard, dampers, keys all look new. They alway replace the strings and tuning pins, but they generally do not replace action parts, The action is regulated and doesn't need much work to refine it. One last point. While the finish looks great, I think they use polyurethane, not polyester, so the finish need a little buffing to get rid of the packing rubs and scratches .</div> <div><br> </div> <div>If you want anymore info, email me privately.</div> <div><br> <div> <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: initial;"> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "> <div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Calligraphy'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px; "><i>Al -</i></span></font></div> <div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Lucida Calligraphy'"><i>High Point, NC</i></font></div> </div> </span></div> </span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div> </span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div> </span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div> <br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div> <br> <div> <div>On Jan 21, 2013, at 8:27 PM, Joseph Garrett <<a href="mailto:joegarrett@earthlink.net">joegarrett@earthlink.net</a>> wrote:</div> <br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> <div>Just got this email flyer espousing rebuilding.
