[mikefox1974]

@renanrr95

Very high cost: about 20.000 $ ... but is a great piano !!

[renanrr95]

@mikefox1974 yeah, but here in brazil a most simple yamaha model cost like 16.000 $... everthing is expensive here :/

[Pilotsofer]

@mikefox1974 i'd rather pay $100,000 and get a realy piano. a STEINWAY

[ultimatenerd22]

So, if you have on a cd with a MIDI file on it, will it play it?

[mikefox1974]

@ultimatenerd22 Sure !!

WALAO

[flyinpianoman]

Really wanting a c7 Disklavier here. Hopefully someday!

[HalChurchy]

Anyone know the name of that song at the start? Or is it just his own?

[pinkieldred]

Yes ...But...can you take a Art Tatum recording and put it on a cd and listen to Art Tatum live.? In Other words is it possible to record great classical or jazz pianist and then play through your player system..?

[SupahflyJazzguy]

@pinkieldred Listen to the song "Yesterdays" by Gordon Goodwin, because that's exactly what he did. He took the famous 1949 recording of Art Tatum playing Yesterdays and put it into a Disklavier, adding his own big band backgrounds, and recording the acoustic piano recreating Art's performance. Interestingly enough, the song that Peter used at the end with the Alto sax solo is "Punta del Soul" by Gordon Goodwin.

[SupahflyJazzguy]

@SupahflyJazzguy I apologize, Punta del Soul is originally by Peter Grusin, but it still stands that Gordon Goodwin had both those songs on his album "Act Your Age."

[LisaLinsky]

Hi Peter! Beautiful music and very entertaining. I have an older version of the Disklavier on my Yamaha G3 and I really enjoy it, but this DS6 is amazing! I would like to learn more. By the way, I recently recorded some video for YouTube playing on my Yamaha. I would love to share them with you, just search "Lisa Linsky" on YouTube.

[mikefox1974]

@LisaLinsky

Ciao Lisa !!

Thank you for your comment !! I think that Peter read your interesting opinion !

Best wishes from Italy.

Mike

[ptxrah]

[gastonguev]

how much is price????????

[btownkidd06]

please review the

YAMAHA DGC1M4 5'3 Disklavier Mark 4 Series Grand Piano In Polished Ebony With Bench

[iMacOviasProduction1]

Peter Baartmans annoys me, and why must he always play that pop/Ballad type stuff???? Why cant he play classical or something that will really show off the piano???? -Thats really aimed when he shows of digital piano's.....

[theironfreak]

2:54 No!!!!! Don't touch the remote!

[mrfourtysevenman]

i dont care if it sucks dick and is made from an extinct prehistoric tree. NO piano is worth 20,000 dollars unless mj screwed a kid on it.

[Superphilipp]

@mrfourtysevenman 20k is a pretty decent price for a good piano. You should check the prices that they charge for the bigger Steinways or Bechsteins, not to mention Bösendorfer or Fazioli pianos.

And any pianist will tell you that they're worth it.

[mrfourtysevenman]

@Superphilipp

oh i understand.

[mrfourtysevenman]

they tried making trumpets that play themselves. they failed.

unless you are in japan, science and music don't mix.

[diederikeggenkamp]

Rete nederlands haha.

[runelink2]

volgens mij is hij nederlands. i think he is dutch:P

[mikefox1974]

@runelink2 I dont know.

[TG4EVER1]

@runelink2 Yes, he is dutch:D

[mathieuemi666]

@runelink2 It's probable. this double "a" isn't common in german. maybe he's from Belgium

[vincentandriessen]

@runelink2 tuurlijk is hij nederlands.... het nederlandse accent in engels is zo herkenbaar ;-)

[tchapman1977]

Does the type of wood affect the tone & sound of a grand piano? For example, most Grand Pianos you see are in the typical ebony wood glossy finish. According to the online catalog, in addition to the ebony wood, it is also available in mahogany and walnut woods. I happen to like the look of a mahogany piano (I currently have a 1950s Baldwin Acrosonic Spinet upright piano in mahogany) but I wouldn't want to pay a large amount for a disklavier only to have it sound bad in mahogany.

[mikefox1974]

Ciao Chapman !!

What you say is right and proper. But your question is too technical and too particular ... I suggest you write directly to Yamaha Corporation for knowing which material is made the Disklavier that you like !!

Nice day from Italy!

Mike

[tchapman1977]

Ciao Mike. Molte grazie. Buon giorno da Kentucky, USA!

Ted

[mikefox1974]

Wow Ted... What kindness to write in my italian languageeeee...:))))

Thanks very much !!

Good day to you !!

Mike

[Rheostatik]

@tchapman1977

The finish of the piano frame doesn't have any effect on the sound. The mahogany and walnut looks you describe is simply a veneer. The reason all-black has become so common is because it's cheaper than paying X amount of dollars per foot of veneer to make it look nicer.

If you like mahogany, the only difference you'll notice is the price.

[ptxrah]

@tchapman1977

it doesnt make a difference lol

[n4eJmom]

[mikefox1974]

WOW N4eJmom!!! Compliments !! This is a great instrument, very very good!
