I really do appreciate all the feedback, and if anyone else has ideas, please share. My receipt definitely says "NEW", and so does the previous owner's receipt. This particular dealer seems to have a policy of not writing the S/N on the receipt -- neither receipt has an S/N (except that I actually wrote mine in after it was delivered.) The lack of S/N tracking on receipts seemed sloppy to me, but now seems to be indicative of a shady practice of selling used things for new. I don't want to mention the dealer until I give them a chance to make things right. I am enjoying the instrument, but I really feel cheated by the transaction. It also explains the odd scratches and slight damage on the shoulder of one of the legs. Great point about contacting Yamaha -- I hadn't considered that option. Also, excellent point about the higher rate of depreciation on Disklaviers due to the integration of electronics, although I would hope that the Disklavier would always be worth at least the same as a similar non-Disklavier model of the same vintage. Thanks, Iggy
