Disklavier

I to live in the uk and have had a real trouble getting information 
about disklaviers, your best bet, is to go to Chappells in Bond 
Street London, as the sales person "Nigel" is very helpful and can 
answer all your questions. I have moved to Buxton and the nearest 
shop is in Manchester. I will not give out names of the two shops in 
Manchester 1) a very old shop which has a poor selection of titles in 
fact they show me a photcopy of a list of titles dating back 6 years!
2) a musical chain shop in the north which is very "glizty" but have 
not the know how!
As I said the best bet is at Chappels in Bond Street, as they are 
owned by Yamaha and they do "good deals" plus if you want to buy any 
disks there you can play before you buy! Which is Great as they did 
do some Horrible ones only fit for a coaster for your glass of wine! 
and they dont come cheap as you must know! I good bet is to wait for 
there sale which is usually around june and the New Year!
Kind regards Stephen
