Not ridiculous at all.�
Disklavier owners have quite an investment in their piano. Most of the existing computer software that assist owners in manipulating the music files�are old DOS based, earlier Windows based or current Windows based programs.
Carol is one of the most competent and talented Disklavier technicians in this country and a tremendous asset to the community.� What she says comes form experience and expertise that most of us will never have.
Carol is a true asset and everyone should keep her web site in mind whenever a question on Disklavier arises.at� www.carolrpt.com

What a ridiculous suggestion, to have a Mac user buy a Windows machine.
