"Bye the way the warranty is 3 yrs. not 5 as I think somebody posted and of course Yamaha`s warranty wont cover any cracks even if one occurs the week after buying."

Warranties vary by country, so duration and what is covered may vary by the market in which the instrument is sold. I haven't checked Yamaha's US warranty on the CSG, BTW.
As to Yamaha not covering cracks, that is not the case in the US. I know of a person here in Michigan who had her new Yamaha instrument crack, and Yamaha replaced the part under warranty.

As to not play testing, I would think they would leave the mouthpiece sealed so the customer would be the first to use it. Some people are very phobic about germs, as certain threads in this board can confirm. This is not to say that anyone ever play tested your particular instrument, but rather to indicate that the reasoning behind some of your points is not exactly airtight.

EDIT: This from tthe Yamaha USA web page:
All Band & Orchestral Division string instruments have a 5-year limited warranty.
