Disklavier

Dear Kathy,

I purchased a "grey market" Disklavier here in Australia a couple of years ago. Like yours, it has Japanese characters in the LED display. You may find a small sticker on the frame at the back of the piano with a model number and serial number. At a Yamaha website, you can trace
the year of manufacture from a list of serial numbers. My piano will play Yamaha prerecorded floppy disks, but to play midi files downloaded from the Internet, I needed to buy a DSR1 - about US $1000 I think. This comes with full instruction manuals.

Good luck,

Russ Morcom
