Disklavier

Hi there is anyone aware of a new disklavier model or major upgrade to 
the Mark IV system in the pipeline? I am about to purchase a new C2 
Mark IV that I have been looking at for some time but had to wait until 
my renovations were finished. I would hate to take delivery only to 
find out that Yamaha is about to release a new model in the foreseeable 
future. Thanks.
Ron

Ron,

Boy I sure hope not ... I just bought that exact same piano a week 
ago.  From what I was told, but no telling if this is accurate, for 
the 'forseeable' future the plan is to keep updating the Mark IV.  
They told me, for example, that Yamaha previewed the next release 
(software upgradable for existing owners) which had features like 
enabling a piano instructor at one location to play and have the 
keyboard at another location play the exact same thing live.  Not sure 
how that would work unless it was over the Internet (as the piano is 
wi-fi I'm hoping for a lot of Internet capability in the future - at 
the moment I can't even access it over my network).  Let me/us know if 
you hear anything else regarding future plans/upgrades! 

Regards,
Jason

No, none on the horizon, any updates are done through the dealer with  
software updates which are free to the customer.
