Yamaha's factories in China and Indonesia still adhere to Yamaha's quality control as they're Yamaha owned and run facilities, whereas the counterfeits are made by Chinese owned factories making Buffet B12 copies and either slapping any name they want to on them, or sending them out unbranded for anyone to laser engrave any name they want on them.

I have no real problem with copies as copies of instruments have been made for decades, but I draw the line at counterfeits and refuse to work on them as a matter of principle.

Stick by the saying "if it's too good to be true ..." and you'll have a clear conscience.
