The term "grey market" speaks to me of an industry... (grin... conspiracy). That being said one might run into some of the same kinds of problems. In addition it has been south of the equator... that is surely to complicate matters.... the sound will probably vibrate in the oposite direction now then it was meant to.....ROLF... I didnt say that last part did I really ?? Joseph Garrett wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE><style></style> I have a client, who bought their Grand Piano in South Africa. They have since moved to Oregon. This is a rather odd construction piano w/water pipe for pedal lyre columns! It is a Yamaha. Would this piano be considered a Grey Market Piano? If so, then why should they be denied proper parts and service, just because they once lived in South Africa and LEGALLY PURCHASED it from a Yamaha Dealer? At present time, the piano does not have any problems, but if and when it does, what am I going to tell them? Somethings wrong with this picture! Any comments would be appreciated.Joe Garrett, RPT-Oregon USA</blockquote> -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
