I'm new to the group and just wanted to say hello and briefly 
introduce myself. Last week finally, after 4 months impatiently 
waiting I received my new YAMAHA Disklavier DYUS 1A from Japan. What 
time we already had! As a piano it sounds nice out of the box: 
resonating basses, clear middles and crisp highs. Beautiful after 
messing around with a 50 year old German piano and a Korg i4S. The 
Mark 111 leaves us baffled, we´re still impressed with the ghost who 
plays our piano. But you all got probably used to that.

I still would like to specially thank Carol Beigel for her helpfull 
handbook on Midi and the Disklavier in particular and Spencer Chase 
who brought us a vast collection of beautiful Midi files and some 
really handy tools.

Just a few introductary words. I like music of all sorts, play some 
jazz and classical guitar, a bit of piano, interested in midi, hifi 
and computing. SO I just had to end up with a Disklavier. I spend my 
days at Akzo Nobel as the company medical doctor. A fun job 
especially now we move HQ to Amsterdam!

So thanks again and a nice weekend from Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
