Bill, You didn't say whether this disklavier was an upright or grand. Actually, it doesn't matter when it comes to recommending them. Both are remarkable instruments. What price are you looking at? Another issue, however, is--Was this piano built to be sold in Japan or in North America? (I presume you live in North America) Pianos built for sale in Japan can sometimes give trouble when imported to North America, depending on the prevailing humidity where you live. Usually you can tell a Yamaha made for use in Japan because it has only two pedals. A further check would be to do a search on the serial number through a Yamaha dealer. The company keeps records on the manufacture and destination of each piano. You may have a jewel but you should check this out.
