Thanks Dennis.

My input on this thread was to try an narrow down the locations of these defective instruments, and to assure my fellow Canucks that all is right here in Canada...

I just want them to know they can purchase with confidence.

Whatever the cause of the instrument problems, whether it be an issue with the factory in Indonesia, or a shipment that was handled incorrectly, I'm sure the lads (and lassies) at Yamaha are scurrying to rectify a situation that could easily cause undue panic and besmirch their normally fine reputation.

Thanks again, for understanding my position.

Ian
