Disklavier

And having gone to the website, the deal seems to only be available 
to customers in the USA (as usual!). Do Yamaha know they have 
customers elsewhere in the world? Perhaps someone from Yamaha would 
explain if the offer is going to be extended to rest of us, I live in 
the UK.

easily transfer your song from the Disklavier's hard drive to a PC or 
Mac, share it as an MP3 file with friends and family via email, or 
burn your album onto a CD!
