[disklavier] Re: Hello

2000-02-25 by Jim Moore

Hi,

I'm new to this group, but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth.

I looked at Yamaha/Disklavier systems and thought they were very nice,
BUT, when I compared the features of them vs. PianoDisc vs. price and
the ability to have the PianoDisc installed on an older piano e.g.
Steinway or Knabe for rough half of a Yamaha the choice was clear and I
went the Pianodisc route. I'm on my second PianoDisc system now. My
first was on a Baldwin spinet and now I have a 128+ on a 7'  Chickering
in Brazilian rosewood. It plays beautifully and I only have about $11.5
in it.

Also the PianoDisc has the ability to play other makers discs as well as
MIDI from a computer. At the time I was looking Yamaha did not, which
limits your selection of music. I was advised that the system that QRS
sells is not nearly as responsive as either Yamaha's or PianoDisc's
however.

Thanks!

Jim
