Yorkaha

[Tubanapoleon]

Actually, from what I understand, Jim was given his yamayork by yamaha, that is, he didn't have to buy it. At the time, Yamaha made a few (3 or 4 I think) prototypes for the yamayork, and had several top players try them out. Jim is a yamaha artist, so I believe they just gave it to them. Guess back then they didn't figure it to be worth $30K. If I'm not mistaken, I think Norm Pearson got one of the other prototypes. Not sure who got the rest.
