Re: [disklavier] DGH1BII or U1HQ100. Which would you rather own?

2008-01-14 by Carol Beigel

If you live in the United States, do not buy a gray market piano.  It is 
nearly impossible to get either technical support or parts.  Remember, there 
is a huge difference between a II and a IIXG.  XGs are more flexible.  If 
you don't like the sound of the piano, you can always have it voiced into 
oblivion or trade it in for one you like better later.
