Natural Wood Finish Disklavier

2003-11-10 by Terry Smythe

There is a most interesting Disklavier currently posted on eBay, 
priced with its opening bid at $45,200.   See:

egory=43376

What surprised me is that it is a natural wood finish.   
Described as Bubinga Mahogany, but I really think it is Mottled 
African Mahogany. 

I would love to install the Disklavier unit into my 1928 Fischer 
5' 4" grand in a pretty Florentine art case, highly figured 
walnut.     However, local Yamaha dealer was adamant - ebony 
only, and only Yamaha.   Too bad, how sad.....  :-(

Does Yamaha really make it possible for a Disklavier to be 
installed in a piano other their own?

Thoughts of others?

Regards,

Terry
