Yamaha piano recall

[Bob]

I think it starts the first of next month.

"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
pianists to come to a full stop at the end of a piece making it extremely
risky for audiences. Although there have been a tremendous number of
accidentals, fortunately it has so far caused no deafs. Analysts are
wondering if it will put a damper on their bass [base] market and if they
will be able to sustain sales. Congress is also considering calling in the
President of Yamaha for questioning as to when the company first learned
about the treble."

Good grief, that's bad.
