Disklavier

Ron,

If you get the smaller piano, it will be quieter in volume, but it 
probably wont have the bass or overall tonal depth of the larger C2.

Its all subjective though, so if you like the way the DGC1 sounds or 
if you cant tell the difference, exchange for the smaller piano.

Keep in mind that your C2 is designed to light up a 300-400 person 
sized room without amplification. You bought a piano with some real 
b@lls, and if I were you, Id be pretty smug about that. =)

Think about putting a nice persian rug big enough to fit under the 
c2. That will quiet it and soften it some.

If you bought a new C2 it shouldnt have ANY scratches, blems or 
problems of any kind. Dont let them pull any Sh__ on you.

Give them these options:
A) fix it
B) Replace It
C) Give you a substansial discount
or
D) Refund your money entirely
