Info on my old disklavier requested.

2003-05-07 by Scott

Hello all,  This is my first posting.  I have owned a Yamaha 
Disklavier grand for about 11 years.  It was made in 1990 and is 
about 6'.  It uses the control wagon and 3.5" floppy disks.  More 
specifically it is a GP series, Model DG1R, with a manufacture date 
of KM90.  The control wagon is a DKW10.  I had not payed any 
attention to the updates in technology until accessing this group.  I 
have just played and enjoyed this absolutely beautiful instrument.  
Is there any hope of upgrading, or should I just sit back and be 
quiet. I really don't have any particular complaints as it sits. Any 
information is respectfully requested.
Thanks,
Scott

Two upgrades are available to you.  One, the DSR1 (cost $1295) is a control 
box that attaches to what you have.  This gives you Ensemble sounds so you 
can hear orchestra and percussion accompaniement to what your piano is 
playing.  It also enables you to put MIDI files you gather from the Internet 
onto floppy disks and play them on your piano without first converting them 
to Yamaha format, ESEQ.

The other upgrade, the DCD1 (cost another $1295), is a CD player.  This adds 
Audio to your system - people singing while your piano is playing.  However, 
there is still no software that would let you play/record a piano part to 
the CD audio - perhaps available this summer.

There are no software upgrades to your model.  Flash ROM was not available 
until the MarkIIXG models.
