Re: [disklavier] MPX1 and midi recording etc

2012-05-17 by Richard Banks

Anyone know where to go to get an estimate of value for a Yamaha grand?
I have a one owner (me) C5 disclavier. Only used in my professional recording studio..it's pristine gloss black ..  I know what I paid for it.. Just curious. 
Thanks for any direction
