UK / EU - test play a Yamaha 822F?

Post by bstevens »

Hi

Anyone know of anywhere I can test drive a Yamaha 822F in the UK or even Europe? They're tricky to find!

Cheers,
Bruce

Thomann have one in stock in Germany.

Fly super cheap with Ryanair to Nuremberg and it's a 45 minute drive (rent a car).

You wouldn't quite make it there and back in one day, but it wouldn't be expensive.

Try it, then take Bloke up on his offer ...

Hey Bloke - can you get your friend to pm me some details?

Cheers. Bruce
