Re: question.....DGP1XG

For the record,the sales invoice says: model PDG1XG It plays high 
density 3.5 floppys or all yamaha piano soft,plus or XG..I went to 
the dealer and put in the same floppy i used into their 2003 model 
mark III,and it sounded just the same...The piano was purchaced 4-23-
99 as new..,but may of been made somewhat earlier.
 Possibly this is a model change over unit with features from new 
and old.
 Happy Holidays
