Re: [disklavier] DKC-850 in the UK

2011-01-31 by James Fry

Hi athomik,
Thanks for the reply. I have a MarkIIXG (MPX1Z) so I'm fine with the functionality.
The reason I asked is that on Saturday I visited the dealer I purchased my piano from, Chappel of Bond Street, London (who are now on Waldour Street). I was told that it isn't worth their while dealing with upgrades such as the DKC850, and as an example I am the first person that has approached them about it. They seemed more than happy to sell new disklaviers though - there is no way I will ever purchase anything from them again, even sheet music.
The only other disklavier dealer I know of is Mickelburgh - hopefully they haven't gone the same way!
Failing that, do Yamaha sell direct to end users these days?
Regards,
James

Any Yamaha Disklavier Dealer should be able to get hold of one for you. You're probably looking at something like £1000-£1200.

Bear in mind that, on pre-Mark IIXG models, not all DKC850 functions are available.
