Disklavier

Hello all,

I'm considering buying the above model DKV (U1 48" upright) from a friend. I got to try it out today and played it for quite a long time, as well as testing out disklavier functions.

I already own two U1s, a disklavier and an non-DKV upright.

While the disklavier functions seemed to work fine (sticky disk drive that finally worked)  and the piano sounded good, the touch was somewhat strange - very light, with a shallower key-dip than my other U1s. Also, the keys actually seemed smaller! Has Yamaha changed their design that much? My pianos are from 1979 and (DKV)1997, this DKV is from 2001.

I started to get used to playing it and after a while enjoyed it, but I feel somewhat conflicted about buying it.

If anyone has experience with different model DKVs like this, or any ideas, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks,
