Disklavier

Hello Wanda,

My experiences with my previous upright (non disklavier) was that when
placed on an outside wall (no windows or dampness) the piano needed tuning
more frequently.  Subsequently moving the piano to an inside wall helped my
piano stay in tune for a significantly longer time span.  I think in the
long run it would be better for your instrument to avoid an outside wall if
at all possible.

Cheers,

Michael

  Hi disklavier friends,

  I bought, but have not yet had delivered, a Yamaha DU1A. It should be here
in 2 weeks or so. I am wondering - I have a small condo, and placement is an
issue. I always heard that you should avoid an outside wall. however my old
piano I had on an outside wall for many years and it seemed fine.

  I asked the salesmanm who said it was not a big deal as long as it was not
leaking or damp. Has anyone here any experience either way - positive or
negative?

  AND - I am getting this instrument, but will not really have money to buy
much else - besides this site are there any other places to download files?
I am interested in all kinds of music, and if any members would be willing
to send me some files I'd be eternally grateful.

  Any tips when I get it? My life is pretty busy and I will want to try it
out right away, but will not have hours to study it, ha ha.

  Blessings,

  Wanda
