Yamaha is a LARGE company, with technologies spanning from motorcycles to pianos. I am sure that some of this get's "cross-pollinated" from time to time ... massive infrastructure of skill, capabilities and knowledge.
.
I ran the shop for a really wonderful "Stereo" store for a few years. My best years, I must say. We loved Yamaha. We owned Yamaha. When I had an elusive technical issue, I could call Yamaha and get someone to walk me through the circuit and always with success. We would get service manuals in the shop for weeks before the product was available. We would attend intensive service schools (at Yamaha's expense) before the product even hit the shelves!
In other words, Yamaha has their "S-word" together!
My little Yamaha 650 has better plating, better looking keys, cleaner tone-holes and a smoother bore, nicer case than my new R13/Greenline. Only downside for me it that it is made of wood ... and I wanted something with higher altissimo pitch (I use slightly soft setup, so pitch issues), and for outdoor use. But, the urge is strong to go ahead and "pull the trigger" on a CSVR ... I wish I could get them in hard rubber or compacted moon-dust.
