Disklavier

If you can't source the cable from Yamaha, try contacting 
PianoQuest. They bring in Disklavier pianos from Japan (gray market) 
and completely refurbish them.  Presumably, their technicians have 
gain a fair bit of experience with inported Disklaviers.  Although 
they would prefer to sell you a piano to go with your cable, they 
might be good enough to help you out.

Their web site is:  www.pianoquest.com

Their Phone Number: (843) 687-8664 M-F 6am-2pm PST

I originally contemplated buying my Disklavier from PianoQuest, but 
ended up buying a new one from an authorized Yamaha dealer.

Dear group members,

 

I am a pretty outdated disklavier user so please bear with me about 
the question I am searching for answer.

I have an older C3 disklavier grand, with a control wagon, but 
without the cable, an older styled round 16-pin male-to-female cable 
connecting the piano and the control wagon. My piano like this has 
been described by YAMAHA-USA as "Gray Market" product which one 
should never touch or deal with. For the Disklavier old timers, you 
probably know exactly what I am talking about.

I called Yamaha Piano Service several times wanting to buy the 
cable, but when I was asked about the serial numbers, the answer is 
always "sorry, your piano is not a serial number that we support."
 
Does anyone know where I can go to get that control cable, either 
used or new?


Thanks,
 
Wayne
