I Want One Of Those #2 - a 7' 6" Yamaha Grand Piano with built-in Disklavier, a system that plays back everything you play. Simply amazing...
* 30 April 2009 saw the announcement that the last piano manufacturing factory in the UK (they made around 30 a day) will close in Nov 2009. Kemble, whose main shareholder has been Yamaha since the late 1970s, will no longer make pianos at their Milton Keynes factory. Joint MD Brian Kemble said: "During the 1980s recession Yamaha rode to our rescue, and thanks to them we have continued manufacturing for another 23 years. We owe Yamaha a huge debt of gratitude for this." I worked for them at Chappell's in New Bond Street, a music department store that they also owned, and also feel a debt of gratitude.
