Disklavier

Hello, As you can tell from my previous posts, I will be buying a new 
DC7a. Does anyone have suggestions for me while I shop? I seem to 
remember that a purchase should come with 2 tunings. I've read that a 
new piano should be tuned at least 4 times the first year. By chance, 
has the amount of tunings that are supplied with a purhase gone up?
I've also seen that some people have received a bench with their 
purchase. Is this common place? Any other comments or suggestions?
Thank you, Park

Hi,

Has anyone connected and used a Yamaha HS8 orgen (1988 model) as an
tone.G unit with a Disklavier? Would be interested to know the detail
and how it worked etc?

I know the format used by the MDR3 Diskdrive of the HS8 is unlike any
other that Yamaha uses. Does anyone have any idea what this format is? 
The diskets can be converted to Disklavier midi format 0 using a PC &
Cakewalk but cakewalk records only the 1st channel and plays piano
sound. The other channels simply disappear. Any idea on this one. 



Thanks
Budds
