Should New Disklavier be "perfect"

2007-09-04 by orangele2003

I just purchased a new 5'3" Ebony DGC1M4 (Mark4).  It was delivered 
without incident.  On initial quick inspection everything seemed to be 
good.  On very close inspection I notice a couple of areas on the piano 
where there appear to be some type of imperfection in the finish.  
These areas are approximately 2" long and about 1/2" wide.  They are 
only noticeable when looking at the finish with the light at an 
angle.   When I initially noticed these areas they were larger, but I 
was able to rub out a portion of the imperfection, but there is still 
areas that I could not get rubbed out.  

I know that the piano will eventually get scuffs and marks since I have 
a cat and an 8 yr old child that will undoubtedly eventually cause some 
damage, but at the same time, after spending nearly 30K, now is 
probably the best time to get ANY issues taken care of with the piano.  

Have others gotten their new pianos with any similar finish problems, 
and how have they addressed them.
