Disklavier

Hi Folks!

We're anticipating the arrival of our DC3A sometime soon, and were thinking of splashing out on a few Yamaha Pianosoft Disks - can anyone recommend any ?

Better still - does anyone know of any that I should avoid or not bother with ?

Has anyone tried:
a. Pianosoft Plus Audio
b. "The Original Recordings Collection"
c book/disk collections - "You are the artist"

Someone somewhere (perhaps on another list?) mentioned that the Beatles PianoSoft Disk wasn't worth buying - does anyone agree, as that would be one I might have bought.....

Last question - does anyone have a Yamaha disk with The Pink Panther Theme on it - if so, which disk is it, as I think it's brilliant. Its on a sample disk that's with the loan upright Disklavier we're currently borrowing from the dealer (long story....)

Cheers
Clare

PS don't worry - I'll let you all know when the Grand arrives - we're really enjoying the upright at the moment and so anticipate many hours tinkling away when our piano finally arrives!

Hi Clare

What a difficult question to answer. One Man,s music is other Man's 
Noise.

I can only say from my own personal view, that most of Yamaha's 
Pianosoft disks are not worth the price, £30 here in the UK.
You can get them cheaper as some shops are selling the older stock 
off for as little as £9.99
The reason I say that, is because I like to relax with the piano and 
most of Yamaha's disk are what I would call Perfomance. In other 
words listen to me play this piano, good or bad.
I would recommend just one "A Night at the Croucho Club" by Harry 
Harris EMS PS 003.
I one I hate, is infact, a Beatles one. It is called "Beatles Once 
More" by Francois Glorieux  YPA-1005E  DO NOT BUY  Listen at your own 
risk.
I have a vast collection of Pianosoft disks, too many to comment on 
them all. The above are just the best and worst.

Happy listen

Clare- I'm a new disklavier owner and recently acquired the Pianosoft disk 
"The Best of Elton John" and have really enjoyed it.  If you're an Elton fan, 
I think it's a safe bet!  -Larry
