after waiting all this time and agonizing between the the DGC1 (5'3") and the DC2 (5'8"). So I finally went for the C2 and had it delivered to my condo last week and, firstly, I can't believe how loud it is. I do have oak floors and only 8 foot ceilings but after listening to the C2 for hours in the store never thought it would be that loud in my place at the lowest setting (on acoustic). The dealer does not think the smaller DGC1 would be any quieter (not sure I agree), so I guess I am stuck and will be using the digital setting much more frequently than planned which really defeats the puropose. I haven't even tried the Disklav yet on the setting where other instruments are playing in the background. But... MUCH WORSE, the lid on my brand new baby has a blemish on it that was not noticeable in the store during the day but is very apparent in my home in the evening under the lights. Its about the size of a quarter on the top left edge in the very spot where the front lid flap comes down onto the main lid in the open position - so its only apparent when the full lid is closed, but very noticeable. It will not come off with with a damp cloth. The dealer is telling me not to worry - they will come look at it and that it will be fixed but I am worried about having anything done to a brand new piano after reading all the recommendations against applying any polishes or other chemicals that can damage the finish. And the thought of having it refinished really scares me. The dealer did say that in the worse case scenario they can replace the lid from another C2. Has anyone heard of doing that? Another dealer I happened to be chatting with said you can't do that - that each lid is unique to its own piano - i.e. that a lid from one C2 cannot just be put on another C2 - that it will not fit perfectly. I guess one other thing I could do is put a rubber stopper on the lid over the blemish to hide it (would have to put one on the other side as well) as I noticed that some grands have rubber stoppers on the lids for the front flaps to sit on - but Yamahas do not. Can anyone PLEASE give me some advice? I am so upset. New piano maybe? Thanks. Ron
