Hi James.
The DKC-850 is basically the E3 minus a few features and the better hammer and pedal sensors of the newer pianos you can’t upgrade what’s inside the piano to make it more accurate apart from ripping the whole guts out and installing something else or heck trying to find someone with a MK IV disklavier who’s selling the internals LOL which I don’t think anybody does and even then you’d have to figure out a way to get the new electronics into the piano and make everything compatible with each other. Some folk have told me to steer clear of the DCD1 as it has some known problems and isn’t that useful but I dunno I’d quite like to have a full set of gear just to make it complete. I’d love a DKC-850 too to bring it right up-to-date but as you say they’re mental money. I’ll ask my dad and get back to you shortly as there’s a guy in the States who apparently has a brand new in the box never been sold DSR1 with manuals, cables and everything. If this is a good price and the guys not joking then this could be a great deal cause all the others are missing bits here and there.
Cheers

Hi Sam,

I used it with my MPX1Z upright MarkIIXG disklavier, which has a DKC500RW with XG sounds (basically the 'this comes with your disklavier' version of the DSR1), and can handle pianosmart where the CD doesn't need pitch adjustments. Price wise I'm not looking to be greedy - it's sat on top of the piano but not plugged in at the moment unused, and I'd rather it went to a good home. At some point I may downgrade to the DKC850 (though as it costs almost as much as my piano is worth it might not be worth it...)

Kind Regards,

James

Hi James.
What did you use your DCD1 module with? Did you own a Disklavier too or a digital piano or something that needed a CD drive? How much roughly do you want for the module?
Cheers

Hi Sam,

I'm in the UK (Gloucestershire) and wish to sell my DCD1 as I simply don't use it. It has probably had less than 24 hours of playback time in total. Please feel free to message me off list if you are interested and able to find a DSR1.

Regards,

James

Hi guys.
I currently own a 1989 Yamaha G2B original wagon disklavier grand piano and am looking for Yamaha DSR1 and DCD1 modules to upgrade my unit with. It seems there aren’t any for sale here in Scotland but if anybody has one they’re no longer needing or wants to sell please get in touch as I am desperate to have either of these modules as it’s something I want to get more into as I like playing the piano.
Cheers
