Disklavier

David,

I believe I'd phone the dealer to confirm "DGH1PE".  If there is such a 
thing, I'd insist on seeing a catalog page, spec sheet, or instruction 
book describing it.  A reputable dealer should not have let you out of 
the store without a clear description of what you are buying.  You 
certainly are not obligated to accept an instrument described as "sorta 
like something else."

Personally, I like the idea of getting an instrument fresh out of the 
crate, as this one seems to be.  However, I would ask for the serial 
number and the year it was built.  (With the S/N, you can, if needed, 
find out for yourself when it was built.)   If this one turns out to be 
a few years old and hasn't moved, and it's truly what you want, I'd 
negotiate on the price.

I hope you shopped around at several dealers around the country.  It's 
surely not too late to do so.  By letting dealers know that they are 
bidding against each other, you might even be surprised to find what you 
can get a DC1A for.

Good luck!
