PianoDisk vs Disklavier

2004-05-12 by minerl2001

You mention a lack of competition in your area for buying Yamaha.  I 
had the same problem (Eastern Washington state)and went looking on 
the web.  I found the Keyboard Centre in Canada.  I bought a DA1A 
for $18,300 - delivered!.  All duties, taxes and shipping paid.  
They took care of the entire deal.  I sent $$ and they showed up 
with a piano.  They ship all over North America.  This particular 
model is not even available in the US market (4 foot 11 inch 
conservatory model).  The 5 foot 3 inch version which is available 
in the US was $37,000 at my local dealer.  Saving $19K was a no-
brainer.  These pianos come out of Yamaha Canada with full warranty 
etc.  The one I got was a 100th aniversery special edition.  These 
are not gray market seconds or damaged.  I'm not endorsing this 
method of getting a piano, but you may want to check it out, it sure 
worked for me and saved some serious cash.

I'm glad you got a nice deal on a nice piano.  However,
I would not recommend this way of doing business to
anyone in the U.S.  Hope nothing ever breaks, because
you will not be able get parts or warranty service here
in the United States.
