Disklavier

Sam,

You cannot use a DKC60RCD or DKC500RCD with your wagon grand.

These are not add-on units. They are control units for specific Disklavier systems.

The only Yamaha options for Disklavier are DSR1, DCD1, and DKC-850.

Love God. Love People. Make a difference.

Hiya.
Yeah I’ve seen the PianoDisc system fitted instead of adding more modules on.  However I can’t afford one of these at that price.  The DKC-850 isn’t on Yamaha’s list or whoever made the list but it is compatible via the MIDI out port, I’ve heard of it being done.  I found a DKC-600CD with combined floppy and CD drive for $600 on Ebay and another DSR1 for $200.  I’m in Scotland so I could ship these reasonably economically but yeah best thing would be just to buy a new one or replace the whole system with a retrofit but I can’t afford either so yeah either I’ll look for a DKC-850 or look at these other 2 on Ebay.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-Disklavier-small-Controll-uit-DKC60RCD-/121752119013?hash=item1c58fde6e5

I looked at the specs for the DKC-850, and it is compatible with Disklaviers as old as the Mark II. The Wagon Grand preceded the Mark II, and is not on the list as being compatible with the DKC-850. If you really want a CD player and a tone generator, it is probably best to pursue the older DCD1 and DSR1.

Or, just gut the electronics and replace them with a PianoDisc or QRS Pianomation system. Then you could control you player wirelessly with an iPod and have internet access and internet radio. I think those systems installed probably cost around $6000. Yamaha does not make a retrofit system.
