Disklavier

My opinion is that the recording capability is an important function and you
will most likely tire of it.  It's nice to record people who play well; and
I've never encountered someone who didn't want me to record them.

For less than 13k you can buy a new upright disklavier that sounds
absolutely great, plus it has the capability to emulate other voices so that
with a amplifier and speaker system you can have an orchestra in your home.

Something else I've done is to input the voices into a Bose speaker
system...and have it play all voices (including the piano playing
acoustically and electronically) which gives it the ambience of a grand
without paying 30 grand more!

My opinion, of course!  If you live in the San Jose area I can demo it to
you.

Subject: [disklavier] question


I haven't bought one yet, but I'm looking at the DGA1XG for 13k.  the
price seems a little high.  It's the 4'11" acoustic with disklavier
player.  I like the size (since I have limited space) and the sound
is great for a small piano.

I'm torn for a few reasons; (1) this model doesn't have the ability
to use headphones or record which a digital piano would and I'm
afraid this will become a 12k exercise bike (not used) without those
features.  (2) I don't know if I will like a digital piano (maybe I'm
a traditionalist). (3) as technology marches forward, will i be able
to upgrade the disklavier or will it become an 8 track player?. there
are still folks who collect piano player rolls.

What do you all think, any regrets?
