News Flash

NEW YORK (AP): Yamaha has recalled 20,000 pianos due to a problem with the pedal sticking. This causes pianists to play faster than they normally would, resulting in a dangerous number of accidents. The sticky pedal also makes it harder for pianists to come to a full stop at the end of a piece, making it extremely risky for audiences.
