Re: Yamaha to close down Bosendorfer?
Heard Fazoli is not going to be available in U.K soon,Steinway and Grotrian-Steinweg are the in our opinion the best built pianos available today and have very consistent productions methods which are hard to better.Shiregu Kawai is also an oustanding piano.

Re: Yamaha to close down Bosendorfer?
Steinway pianos that are built are usually sold before been completed,they have back orders up to 18 months,dont see any problems there,high end piano market is more reccession proof,and they are "quite simply the best" no other brand has the magic or build quality of a Steinway.
