What has dying got to do with the quality of how a piano is built ? I know that has nothing to do with the piano in the church. Most pianos in the churches are not cared for very well and put into unfavorable environmental situations. "buffy@..." <buffy@...> wrote: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'Braunstein To: disklavier@... Sent: Friday, May 02, 2003 11:12 AMSubject: [disklavier] Newbie seeking silent disklavier upright Greetings 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.
