[disklavier] More Price Comparisons

[disklavier] More Price Comparisons

1999-12-22 by Eric Schindelbeck

Todd - I chimed in on the piano price survey, and now I have a
suggestion for another survey, if you're up to it: Database for prices
we paid for our tone generators (MU-50, et. al.) & misc. upgrades
(DSR-1, RAM, Flash Rom, etc.).  

I obtained my MU-50 from Caruso music in New London, factory refurb,
for only $317.  I think it lists for something like $550.  I couldn't
find any discounts on the DSR-1 (lists at $1200), but might consider a
purchase if I knew of a "deal" somewhere.  I think others would benefit
from this just as with the piano price database.  What do you think?

Eric's reference to the DSR-1 and it's price reminded me of a question I once
posed a few years ago when I first heard of the DSR-1.

It's an add-on, right.

So here I am with my PC equipped with a Yamaha SW60XG midi card
and a sound card with MIDI-out/in.  I can play any XG file, my Disklavier
can play the piano parts, I've got decent Yamaha speakers with subwoofer,
I can download MIDI files from the Internet. So why would I shell out $1200
for a DSR-1?  Isn't it just a piece of computing machinery with capabilities
somewhat less than my PC setup.  It sounds to me like an overpriced
(granted the market is tiny) PC.

The DSR1 was originally produced (I think) to give the owners of MX100A, MX100B, Wagon grands and the MX80 systems, access to all the features the newer Disklavier owners enjoy.
