Re: [disklavier] upgrade path

2008-04-08 by John Rank

I was told that long ago...and I have an XGII model...which someone asked about the other day and said that the update for my model is no longer available from yamaha. No one has responded to that email asking about how to obtain the upgrade...does anyone know how to get such an upgrade (I think it lets the piano play the audio CD versions but does not do anything else that the Mark III does...and I assume that you can't upgrade the Mark II beyond the Mark III level....but I'm not sure about that. Why would someone want to buy a Mark II that can't be upgraded when there are Mark IVs out there?
And since I really enjoy the disklavier for the piano parts of the music, does it make sense to upgrade (if i could) to the audio CD version? I don't want to hear Barry Manilow or anyone else singing while the piano is playing--although instrumental accompaniment alone might be worthwhile as opposed to the MIDI fake instrumental feature.
thanks for any help.
John

I was told the same thing - in fact I had been looking at used, but
they convinced me it was worth it to buy a mark III so I could get all
the upgrades that they would be doing.

I am near Philadelphia, PA.

Are they saying this everywhere, or do we just have a few dishonest
salesmen.....or is there really plans to allow us to upgrade at some
point? OR is Yamaha telling them to tell us that, but with no plans for
an update?

I will be payng off this piano for years - no way can I a fford to
upgrade.

Blessings,
Wanda
