Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Piano Forum Help,, japanese piano and radiation

I'm sure most folks realize that pianos built in Japan are produced near the city Hamamatsu (Shizuoka Prefecture), which is over 500 miles way from the reactor site.

If there was ever a waste of bandwidth this thread is it.

Bye.

To you who mock this person's worries I ask:

Would you sneer condescendingly at a PTSD veteran ducking under the table during a thunderstorm?

Laugh in the face of a World Trade Center survivor when they fear going outside on Sept 11 each year?

Tell a holocaust survivor to just "get over it" when they express concerns about what's going on in the world today?

None of us know what is motivating the reasoning of this person. After reading some of these responses I suggest those of you feeling superior to her/him stand in a corner for a while and think about your humanity.

And that's all I have to say about this.

Well. Since the Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011, I have travelled to Japan on a few occasions. I've eaten the food and drank the drinks without fear. My colleagues in Japan showed very little concern for fears of radiation. As much as TEPCO has bungled the cleanup efforts, I am sure that if there were concerns about exposure, I wouldn't have been sent there for work.

Besides the fact that the P105 is not manufactured in Japan and is actually imported into the country, I don't think it passes through or anywhere near Fukushima. The nearest container port is south of IWAKI which falls outside the exclusion zone around the Fukushima-Daichi Nuclear Power Plant. There are people living and working there. SO by any normal form of deduction, the piano is safe.

I suddenly feel like trading in my Kawai for a Pearl River...I don't know why.

The term "concern trolling" comes to mind.

I feel quite fine about my humanity. There is nothing wrong with being direct in telling someone their fears are unfounded.

I work for Kawai, and I tune Kawai pianos almost every day. I am not at all ill because there is no radiation in products from Japan.

This thread is just nonsense.

The Fukushima disaster happened in 2011, right? If it was dangerous to use any product from Japan, then in the 4 years since the disaster, how is it that millions of people are living all over Japan without any ill effects from radiation? There is no radiation affecting the people or products from Japan.

Please everyone, just let this thread alone.

I concur. This may well be the most bogus topic ever raised on this forum.

Wow.. I agree with Kawai Don. I am going to close this topic because it is nonsense.

But just to be helpful, if any of you own a Kawai or Yamaha piano and you cannot sleep at night because you fear radiation from it, simply PM me for my address and I will gladly accept it so you can get it out of your house... I am helpful that way..
