Yamaha Recall

[Harvey]

Yamaha has recalled 20,000 pianos due to a problem with the pedal sticking, causing pianists to play faster than they normally would, resulting in a dangerous number of accidentals.

The sticky pedal also makes it harder for jazz pianists to come to a full stop at the end of a piece, making it extremely risky for audiences. :whiste:

i'm going to call your employer and tell him what a crappy job of parodying you're doing.

Hahaha! Somehow I figured this was going to be a Toyota parody, but I was thinking more along the lines of ATVs and Ski Doo's. 6/10

I'd like to see the onion put out something like this, think it could be pretty funny.

If the onion hit this, they'd probably use some korean company, and say that Dear Leader has increased efficiency of the nation by 20% by not allowing people to slow down.

I liked it.

Then again, I only take Yamaha seriously in the outboard, and jet ski market, and I personally believe Honda has them beat on jet skis, and stern (I/O) drives are better than outboard, which OMC, Volvo, and Mercury all excel at.

I do inspections in NYC daily. I ran into a superintendent of one of the buildings I inspect and in his office was an old console piano. I asked him if he played, and he said, "No, it's been just sitting here for years.". I gave him my card and asked him to call me if he ever wanted to get rid of it. I told him I've been playing for over 30 years, and also want to get my son lessons. About a month later, he calls me and asks if I still want the piano. A few days later, I show up with a Ryder truck with a liftgate, we load it up and I take it home.
Backed into the driveway and unload it into the garage. My wife is excited about it.
At this point, I realized that I didn't even check the piano to see if it actually played at all. I didn't even know what kind it was. I assumed it was an old Baldwin or Yamaha.
I lift up the keyboard cover, lo and behold. A Steinway. My jaw dropped.
I immediately called the Steinway factory in Long Island City and gave them the serial # so they can tell me a bit about the piano.
1947 Steinway Mahogany 40" console. Steinway even sent a tuner out to my house for a pitch raise and a tune.
Anyway, I thought this was a cool story. Really a surprise. I saw the superintendent again a few weeks later and he asked me how the piano was. I said it's great, the family loves it, and my son is started to get interested in playing.
I wont ever tell him that he gave away a Steinway though. That would be cruel.

Your score on your last test in your music class?

I'm a player, and all of my musician friends liked it.

The toyota keyboard thread was much better.

As long as Casio's are not affected, I'll be ok.

Who needs pedals when you can get Christmas music year-round with the touch of a button!

I ride a Yamaha. Thank you for successfully worrying me for a second there.

Your nick SO goes with this wonderful story. Grace happens. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask. ()
