Disklavier

Hi,
I am a purchaser of a used Disklavier MX100A for which I paid $5,000 four
years ago. I always wanted to get a Disklavier but could not justify
spending the $10,00 for one. I needed a piano so my older daughter could
start piano lessons and I figured it was a good time to get the disklavier
I wanted at the price of a new upright Yamaha no-frills model. I have been
very happy with the piano. I have used it to listen to Pianosoft disks and
recently my daughter started playing Bach Inventions and Sonatinas which
are available as Piano Study disks. These are very helpful because as she
is learning the pieces, you can slow them down and she can get the feel of
the piece with the right dynamics and flow of the piece.
So all my goals were met and although the new added bells and whistles
would be great, I am quite happy with my purchase. Of course I purchased
the piano from someone in the same city and went to his house for a demo
before buying it. There were a few minor cosmetic dings but the sound is
excellent and I paid professional piano movers to move it across town. Be
sure to get professional movers to move the piano. Your buddies may mean
well but who is left with the $5000 broken piano if they drop it? 
If you can afford to buy a new piano and want all the latest technology I
would buy it over a used one. If your purpose is to have a nice piano for
your children to learn on with the added feature of playback, a used one
would be fine as long as you audition it and have it checked out before
you buy.
Victor
