So do Yamaha Canada know you ARE liaising with the public, Ian, and making official sounding pronouncements about the state of quality control in the US or Indonesia?

Or is this just more evangelism in the guise of official communication..?

Does anyone here think that Yamaha International give the REAL skinny to an occasional clinician and non-full-time employee in a small part of Canada? Most corporations get EXTREMELY tight-lipped about quality control issues with brand new products. Why anyone would think that Ian was privy to such information, yet alone authorized to release it to the buying public is beyond me. This, especially given Ian's constant PSR evangelism, just sounds like someone spouting the party line... (as he does with everything concerned with the PSR's).

The FACTS are, several members at SZ have received faulty S900's, some multiple ones, at widely different times and from widely different dealers. Whatever conclusion you draw from this, one thing is certain. No-one from Yamaha has made ANY official statement...

Let's not take Ian's 'opinion' as one of those...
