one of the areas largest piano dealers (ludwig aeolian) is dropping yamaha due to the price setting, or so the radio ad claims. I wonder if this will become a trend. With other manufacturers improving on the quality of their pianos I wonder what yamaha is thinking.

oh, the city is St Louis

if you post this in 'piano forum', you'd get a lot of responses, including dealers'.

I thought you meant it fell off the delivery truck.... splat!
