Disklavier

Paul, 
 
I teach at a university where we have had the "university piano sales". I  
hate to say it, but to me the sales sound like an excuse for a sale. Just like  
"presidents day" or "Julyi 4th special". For a grand piano, and especially a  
disklavier, where the list price is so much higher, I'd expect a bit more off. 
I  am guessing this is a piano in the 20k - 30k range? Or even more? I don't 
know  by model numbers for sure, if it is a grand, but if it is, that makes it 
a big  number to begin with.
 
I believe we are not supposed to post what we paid for an instrument, not  
sure if this will be allowed through....but I'd just say generally, for a "floor 
 model" or "demo" or "last years model" of ANYTHING, I expect a  price 
significantly below the absolute possible bestest lowest price that  anyone could 
get a new one in a store. If not, what is the point? Unless the  item is the 
last one of its kind and you absolutely need that particular one,  you probably 
can do the same 5K off for new.
 
One good thing - the college most likely had to maintain/TUNE the  instrument 
(we did), and in the first year it often needs a few more  tunings....so the 
instrument, if it is in tune, will probably have settled in a  bit and not 
require so many extra tunings YOUR first year.
 
Blessings,
Wanda
