Good afternoon, everyone. RW, you can still find Mark III info at the Yamaha web site: www.yamaha.com If you navigate into the piano area, you'll eventually get to the Disklavier section where you can find all of the specs and pictures of current models (Mark IV grands and Mark III uprights). To find older models, click the Search button in the top area of the Yamaha web pages. Check the box to include "archived content" in your search. Then, put in a known model number, such as: DC3 A few hits will come up. When you click on one of them, not only will you go to that particular page, but you will see a host of other sizes in that same product category listed on the left side of the window. Searching for DC3 will get you older, full-featured grands. Searching for: MX100II will help you locate older upright models. Searching for: DGP1 will help you locate older playback only grands. Searching for: DC3Pro will help you locate older Pro model grands. Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to get to a comprehensive listing of all older Disklaviers.
