Did you know that pianos in Japan are not passed on
to relatives, they are destroyed once the first owner dies? As a
result, the quality of the piano is not as good. I know because we
have "dead" piano in our choir room at church, and the pianist explain to us why
it was such a bad quality.
----- Original Message -----From: Steven A. D'BraunsteinSent: Friday, May 02, 2003 11:12 AMSubject: [disklavier] Newbie seeking silent disklavier uprightGreetings all:I have been a member for the last month or so in an attempt to learn the fundamental benefits of disklavier prior to purchasing one for my family. I think that a disklavier with a silent feature would be ideal for my family as it would allow for silent practice without impinging on the rest of the family's activities.Are there other issues or features that I should consider or seek out?Also, where would you suggest I look for a good "pre-owned" piano of this sort? I am actively looking but have found little success.I have come across a lot of discussion for and against purchasing a Japanese piano not specifically built for North America. Is this a real issue as Yamaha asserts? Or is it merely a marketing ploy as many other piano professionals (and sellers of such pianos) claim.Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.Kindest Regards,Steve--
