I have to sell my DC5A

I have to sell my DC5A

2006-03-05 by Jeremy Roberts

Hi to all...

I am moving and there is no possible way that I can keep my DC5A in  
my new apartment. :-(   Anyone who knows New York City apartments  
knows how tight space can be, and I have been lucky to have a nice  
big room for the piano at my current place -- but we recently had a  
baby, and we need a bigger apartment, so it's either the piano room  
or a baby room, and my daughter wins (for now)... so I have to downsize.

My DC5A is exactly 2 years old. Purchased brand spanking new, right  
out of the crate, on March 11, 2004. It has the satin-ebony finish  
(which I prefer -- looks classic).

Serial number #5926656; 6' 7" Disklavier Mark III (DC5A)

This piano was purchased new from a US Authorized Yamaha dealer, and  
the US warranty is transferable. You can confirm the serial number on  
the Yamaha website.

It is in 100% flawless, perfect, amazing condition. Sounds, and  
functions like new. Actually, sounds better than new, since it was  
initially set up and has been maintained meticulously by NYC  
technician Kaz Tsujio -- Kaz tweaked the action to 100% spec and it  
is a superb instrument. Since I was on tour most of 2005, it only was  
only played a few times a month in my home... it is in a temperature  
and humidity controlled space... comes with remote, electronics,  
discs, speakers, accessories, bench, etc...  -- if it was with the  
piano when new, it's included.

AAA Professional were the movers (it was only moved once, from the  
warehouse to my apartment/elevator building) -- they are also  
Yamaha's movers for their concert pianos in the NYC region... this  
puppy has been babied by a professional musician for 2 years... I  
hate to see it go... but my family needs the space, and I have a real  
sweet C7 at my studio, so I have to let this go.

This is an opportunity for someone... Yamaha did not make very many  
DC5A models - especially in the satin ebony finish. At 6'7" it is a  
nice compromise between size and sound quality - for a NYC apartment,  
it does not overpower the room, yet, it is a "full sized" instrument.

I know I'm preaching to the choir...

Before I list this baby on eBay, I thought I'd send a blast out to  
the Disklavier community -- if anyone knows anyone, etc...

The price is $26,000 (+ moving/shipping)

If you're near NYC (upper west side), of course, please come play it  
and check it out, if you are serious.

Thanks for listening.
