Carol,

Asia is much bigger than America. There is not only one climate in 
Asia. How about people in Hawaii? Does Yamaha make a special piano for 
people in Hawaii or people in Texas? Your argument just does not make 
sense and without base. And about the connectors, Yamaha hires cheap 
labor in many places, do you think that they expect these low paid 
laborers to do soldering? I did work for a month in Yamaha factory, 
everything is well planned, everything just needs to be connected...
