The piano and optional accessories came within 3 days. No shipping charge and no sales tax! Originally, I paid $900. But yesterday I saw that the price dropped by $75. I contacted Kraft Music to request them to honor the new price, and they agreed to credit the difference to my credit card - no problem!

Happy Camper!

All correspondence including actual purchase was by telephone as there are no Kawai dealers near me. I had originally planned to buy a Casio Celviano AP 650 except their poorly organized dealer network made it impossible. The Kawai CN34 was my close 2nd choice.

Originally was looking at big box stores, Kawai's and Yamaha's. Casio was chosen for its key action and value as a first year piano. Was considering rentals but decided it is almost risk free when they had the PX-850 in stock at such a reasonable price. Plus the owners throw in a Casio bench free of charge, made the purchase even more satisfying!

Exactly how much is "under $1000" and "over 10% off $1099 MAP incl. tax)? Inquiring minds want to know.

Are the complied results of these prices available anywhere? Sorry if I missed it, but can't seem to find it.

Silence is golden... JK.

I was just trying out my new cheeky dealing skills and the owner couple shockingly took my first offer. They have one other PX-850 (assembled) left so best luck!

Thank you. Please note that I posted a correction the day after my original post. I initially stated that I paid $899, and then found the receipt indicating that I actually paid $849. The spreadsheet shows my initial, incorrect amount.

Originally planned for a Casio AP-650 but could not locate any dealer in weeks (Costco did not have the model) so I tested out a few Kawai models at the Kawai dealer and settled for the CN34.

Um, IIRC my mom paid $1500 for the Kawai HS22 we had from 2003 up until last November. It was brand new from the Piano Co. in Leesburg, VA, and heck if I know the precise date. I remember it was during the big blizzard of '03, my parents lugged it home in their car, and a friend and I had spent hours making the most pathetic snowman ever earlier that day.

Total paid for everything was $807.49. As usual, their coupons didn't apply to this model, so I had to ask for the discount.
