Disklavier

I bought a DGH1 IIXG (with record)a few months ago. I went to two
Yamaha dealers about 30 miles apart. I was not trying to have them bid
against each other, but that is what happened. I finally got it for
under 13,000. The initial offer was for 16,500. So, obviously they are
still making money at close to 50% of the list price although I don't
think they would do well selling a lot of their pianos at this rate
:-). BTW, the piano is great!
