Disklavier

Mr. Hendershot,
     I am the Yamaha Dealer in Eugene.  I would be glad to discuss the upgrade for your Mark II with you.  Also there is now a Yamaha Dealer in Medford.  They have just opened.  I can get this information for you from the District Manager.  We want you to get the service and help
you need.  So, if I can be of help call me at 541-343-3470
   Sincerely,
   David Lawson
    Lawson's Keyboard Center
