<chuckles many times> Victor Borge would have been proud. Yamaha has recently felt the hammer due to declines in sales. Department heads may roll. The key to their recovery is not black and white, but in theory, a reduction in staff would notably reduce overhead. Although they have kept a lid on the details, Yamaha now has to face the music and atone to their investors. Plans for the new Yahama Presto now lay tacet.
