Decided to bite the bullet on this one after reading many reviews here.. Also tried it out for about an hour at a local music store with my Studio Headphones. Cant wait to get this so I can hook up my M-Audio BX8's. I have a student discount for pianoteq. ill have to play around with the piano for a while to see if the samples are adequate.. otherwise I might get software.

wow.. how did you get that discount? and almost a month ago..

alright.. looks like I need to call back tomorrow morning.. wonder if they'll refund me some money.. i see used ones for $679 (scratches head)..

EDIT: called in this morning and got a discount.. Updated price above

im really glad i called back in.. price updated again (see above)

glad to hear it- did they just then credit you the $121 back?How do you like the keyboard?

there was a pending charge to my account that dropped and a new charge came up in the new amount.. haven't got the keyboard yet, but will this wed.

Curious, Dave Mack paid $680 with a 15% off coupon. The going price seems to be $799 making it $680 after %15 off. How did you get $648.64 out the door? "Out the door" would include sales tax.

The first price I got was with tax.. I called back and said that since they had a coupon for no tax, I should get the piano without tax.i think the person that entered my order put it at a low price originally and taxed it so it would come out to the 719( i also ordered something else)So when I called in about the no tax, I got a low price..

Hope that makes sense.

In essence it makes sense. On the other hand figuring out how they came up with that final figure requires specific numbers.

EDIT: I was thinking about this today. Because you have posted a price paid in this specific thread I would like to understand how you walked away paying only $648.64. Was it due to a salesperson's error in calculation? I get the part about going backwards to come up with a figure that produced something comparable to what you should have paid if they honored a coupon and tax off sale in the first place (you got 2 different sale discounts applied at once correct?). 15% off (coupon) of the going price and a no sales tax discount would have left $679. Where did the $648.64 come from? If the area of Los Angeles where you purchased this has a 9.25% sales tax rate that means they should have punched up something like $622.00 to produce $679. A key point is that you said "out the door" so that would be the total you paid (pseudo tax, no tax, 15% off, etc.) period not the trumped up figure that lead to a number reflecting expired sales discounts.

Did anyone that purchased the casio px 350 from musicians friend ( or any place for that matter) buy extended warranty coverage? MF is offering me a 3 year warranty that covers everything except theft for $99.. Im wondering if I should take it.. Any thoughts?

Gatsbee13, may I recommend that you create a new topic for this query.
The intention of this thread is really to post prices, rather than ask questions.

Cheers,

Current deal on @ Costco.ca on the PX135 package, was looking at the PX735, but the addition of an integrated keyboard cover didn't really justify the extra cost.

I think I was lucky with the price when purchasing in last week of July: I lately heard that the wholesale prices in Spain became rised up from August and the dealers have to forward this to their customers now;

Did you get it on amazon.com ?
I can't find any piano on amazon.ca.
But if you bought it from America, shouldn't you pay the extra tax for it?

I forgot to post my info before.

To anyone else who bought a new Kawai CN43, the publicity/advertising says is comes with Alfred's Piano Course for Adults or something. According to Amazon, this is a book with CD, yet I received no such thing, and the vendor says there was nothing else in the box. Should there have been? Thanks.

.

fractalCarrot, in the UK, US and Australia, the CN43 includes built-in 'Alfred' lesson songs, however not the printed scores or audio CDs.

Kind regards,
James

HI Kawai James, thanks very much for clearing that up. I had noticed there were built in lessons of some kind, though I didn't realise they were Alfred's.
Thanks!

Hi,

I want to buy a Kawai CA65. I live in Los Angeles County. Can someone tell me what's the best bargained price for one of these? Also, where can I find a very good dealer? Thank you in advance.

-=kenboi

kenboi, please use the dealer locator on the Kawai America website, or give them a call to ask for information about dealers in your area.

Kind regards,
James

James,

Thank you for your response. I have found 3 dealers closest to my home. One of the dealers are in the process of innovating their store so the door was locked. The other 2 dealers, one of which I have visited today quoted me $3k out the door + delivery. She said she can lower the price for me if I am serious about buying and pay in cash. I am going to find out from other dealer later and see how much they offer.

I could have pushed the price by another 200 EUR lower if I was not stupid and remembered their initial price offer...

Also, they do sell with luxembourgish VAT which is 15 % as opposed to 20 % in Germany or elswhere in the EU (provided the delivery is made to Luxembourg).

Had to wait for a looooong time for delivery though (I was told NU1 sells quite well and is out of stock...)
