I would sure be concerned....and probably pass on this piano and wait for the next one....I just checked my piano and the board is smooth. There are grain lines running the length of the board but it is smooth. Hope this helps. We have had our 5foot 6 for about 10 years with no problems what so ever.

Hi, I am about to purchase a brand new Yamaha C2 with the disklavier
feature. The piano arrived at the dealer and it is now set up in the
showroom (for tuning etc). When I examined the piano closely I noticed
that the light colored horizontal wood panelling below the strings is
not perfectly flat and smooth to the touch, but the wood strips have
raised ridges between them, almost like the "cupping" that occurs when
hardwood floor strips become damaged from water. Its as though the
strips are too compressed against one another resulting in raised
edges. Other pianos (both Yamaha and other brands) that I looked at in
the showroom did not have this problem. The boards are flat and
smooth. The salesperson could not explain but agreed to look into it.
Has anyone encountered this? Is this a defect in the piano? Could this
be a moisture or humidity problem? Should I be concerned? Thanks!!
