<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>I recently purchased a Yamaha set, that is for a
U3 model. I intend to put them on a nice older Heintzman.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>I don't believe that it is possible in the
US.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>I think that their rule of only selling replacements
for a legitimate # Yamaha, is stupid. What is to prevent someone giving them, a
legitimate #, and using it on something else. (Hint :-) )</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=3>I attended a Bill Spurlock class, at a Convention, and
he gave instruction, on making your own from scratch. It looks like the same
class, is available in Nashville.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
