Disklavier

Hello!

I am new to the group and am working to acquire a Disklavier, but can't afford $30K for a new DC1A. 

Two questions (sorry if these have been answered many times before):

1)  Any good source or bulletin board to find a quality used instrument?  I would prefer any model 5'3" (black), but would enjoy an upright as well. I am already watching eBay regularly. 

2)  If I can find a good used Mark II, can it be upgraded to Mark III functionality?  Any ideas about cost?  Is this a bad idea?

Thanks.

Barry

I paid under $11K + tax for a new Mark III upright (DU1A) and am very happy 
with it.  You're probably better off with this than buying an older unit and 
trying to upgrade.

I am selling a DC6A  only 3 years old.

know what you want to do.

Hi there,

I'm in New Zealand (with an MX100-II), looking to buy a larger grand 
(either a 6A or 7A), and given the price of the US Dollar, probably 
looking to buy one from over there!  I note that Chamberlain Music 
in the UK are now offering new DC6A's for around the US$30k mark, so 
it doesn't sound like an impossibility.

If anyone (and you in particular, Lance) hears of any other 'mint 
shape' DC7A's going for anywhere around US$20k, I would love it if 
you'd let me know.  Obviously I'd have to pay for professional 
shipping on top...

Best regards


Charles
