Disklavier

I have managed to find authorized out of state dealers who are 
beating the local dealer's quote by several thousand dollars.  And 
yes it is for the 'exact' same model including shipping. 

       I mentioned to the local dealer that I would be looking out of 
state to compare pricing. He said, "How are you going to get it 
serviced?" He was right. I haven't found a local independent 
technician. It doesn't seem possible here. Great way to start a 
business relationship: coercing the customer.

       I am so dissappointed at the attempt by the local dealer to 
Buffalo me, I have exactly zero desire to go back and talk to the 
local dealer. 

       Even thought I like the Yamaha Disklavier electronics better. 
It looks like I have to buy some other brand piano with PianoDisc 
installed. I can find several independent PianoDisc qualified 
technicians locally who come well recommended. I can get at least two 
quotes for the other piano brands within a short drive.

       Anyone think this was the result corporate Yamaha desired? Oh 
well...
