Disklavier

Diane,
Let me clear up one point you may be confused about.  This group
(disklavier@egroups.com) is not DUG!  It is a private group that I set up
last November.  Virtually all of our members are or were members of DUG as
well.  The "official" Yamaha sponsored DUG group has the email address
dug@... .  When you see [disklavier] in the subject line, it
came from this group.  You can also look at the "to" field of your e-mail to
see where it came from.

Generally people on both groups are very generous in helping beginners when
asked.  Just ignore the high-tech messages by deleting them.  Good luck.
