Dear
Member,
As you are considering a new 5.3"
vice a used 6'2"
I will tell you what I did this
year.
I bought 2 yrs ago a new 4.11" with a
Mark II unit,and since the dealer gave me 2 yrs to exchanged without any lost
$$$ for any upgrade I decided to get the upgrade this yrs. So in november
I received my new DGC1A 5.3" with a mark III unit.
It made all the difference. Yhe
piano has a smoother sound, and more equal all the way trough. The mark
III is very nice. Superb I would say. It plays evrything from ESEQ
to regular midi file, and eventhough the piano parts are not on channel 1 / or
and 2 it will go and get them to play all piano part. So I'm finished with
re-editing part that are not made for disklavier. This alone is very nice
feature. The CD's are also very convenient, good sound. However I
found it a bit nosier with the keys versus my older 4.11" DGH1. but the
pedal on the older unit was noisy, this one is more
silent.
I have used the silent mode, I
even enjoyed it, and it give you the chance to copy any midi you might like and
write on an external CD burner and listen to midi transfer in wave.
Any how, the choice is yours but if
you are not to concern about a 6' versu a 5' piano the mark III is a real bonus.
I enjoy it very
much.
Good luck.
Jimmy

the "older" mark II system in it. (6'2" - NP98 - asking $24500 "new"
from Yamaha dealer).
The problem I am really having researching this model is that
information on it is not available on the Yamaha website. I know it
does not have the silent system and the piano smart/smart key (not
interested in these features anyway).
Features that I do want - midi capability to record to cakewalk etc..
(i believe it does this). I guess what I am trying to figure out is
that has there been any SIGNIFIGANT upgrades aside from the control
unit that I should be aware of - abviously the dealer is not
forthcoming if there is. He claims that the optics, soleniods and
machanics are exactly the same as well as the basic unit except for
the integration of the CDrom and the features list above. True
statements? I don't know.
The question - should I get this piano OR get the DGH1BA (a 5'3" has
the Mark III system 19,800).
Help Help Help.
Thanks.
