Disklavier

Jeff,

I just realized that you also indicated that you're not clear on 
what a Yamaha MX1 is.

In addition to being a fine upright piano, the MX1 belongs to 
Yamaha's "Disklavier" line of pianos.  Simply put, the Disklavier is 
the modern version of a "player piano".

More information can be found on your MX1 at:
http://www.yamaha.ca/content/piano/products/disklavierpianos/disklavi
eruprightpianos/MX1/keyfeatures.jsp

Alternately, from your web browser type: www.google.com
Do a search on: Yamaha MX1

I recommend that you visit your local Yamaha dealer who can quickly 
get you up to speed on the wonderful capabilitieds of the Disklavier.


Regards,

Robert LeBlanc
