Disklavier

Here is another method that I used with great success.
  
Call around to other states that are certified
yahamaha 
dealters.  Pick the disclavier that you like and call
around for the best price - remeber it doesn't cost
all
that much to ship the piano - they are all guarunteed
by Yamaha - not the local dealer - for a year.  It
will
save you thousands.  Or get the best price that you
can  by phone and bring it to your local dealer -
either he
give you a good deal or just give your money to
someone else.

go to the yamaha web site and look up the phone
numbers for the authorized dealers ALSO be sure to
look at the price database on this website.
good luck
