Re: Yamaha CSGIII Throat E and F Issue

Hello James,

Glad to know you play CSG too. Like I said I prefer it to CSVR when I was in the process to replace my buffet Festival. I agree with you they are different.

I would appreciate if you can share where you got the information that CSG has single uniform bore (straight bore?), as it is different to my understanding, which I got from Yamaha's brochure (pg 3 in the link below) for Japan market, where these models are named differently.

Ideal-G (which has short barrel like CSG) was the predecessor of CSGIII, which just became available in late 2017 in Japan to replace Ideal-G. Also, because of their names, I think CS-V, CS-VR, and CS-G belong to the CS side of the bore family, which definitely has less tapered bore, compared the SE family but it is still not straight and to me it is still poly-cylindrical. I think the felt differences could be different undercutting and customization for each model.

I mentioned the bore family in my previous post since I felt throat E of the CSVR I tried was a bit flat as well.

I could very well be wrong though....

Thanks
-Kai
