[disklavier] Re: Where am I located?

2000-02-19 by Clarita Verbeek

I am living in the tropical part of the United States in the Rio 
Grande Valley and ready to jump in my pool because it is here 89 
degrees.
I can do with my disklavier what I want it to do. There are tons
of midi files I can download and play on my disklavier. 
There is a lot of rock, blues, jazz and country.
I pay my pianotechnician only for tuning.
I can also force my piano to play the melody. But I have a computer
and software, a PowerMac and Encore from G Vox, and I know
how I have to use both computer and software.
I purchesed my brand new disklavier the black upright MX- 100A in April
1991 nearly nine years ago for 6500 dollars with a trade in for my old
acoustic Baldwin piano that I bought in 1981 for about three thousand
dollars, so all together about 9500 dollars. The only trouble
I ever had was a broken string that had to be replaced and a few burned
out fuses, because I played quatre mains (four handed) 
pianomusic with too many notes, too loud for the fuses. Mia culpa! 
I was to blame for it.
So I can honestly say that I have no problems worth mentioning.
May be the reason is that I drink no wine, but only water from
the Rio Grande. However to be on the safe side I filter it first.
