At the one I attended, the salesperson was willing to sell any Yamaha piano, not just the models on display. I could pick my finish and options. I also know that the polished mahogany lists for more than the polished ebony. Here's a link to the latest prices I've seen: http://www.hiwhy.com/2010/02/24/yamaha-piano-special-event-at-costco-2010/ I guess every Yamaha / Costco roadshow operates differently.

They had the polished ebony @14,699 but I liked the Polished Mahogany better and they won't sell that at Costco. The local dealership agreed to honor the Costco price @14,699 and asked for an extra $1000 for the Polished Mahogany. Delivery charge of $275. I have asked him to give the Polished Mahogany at the same price $14,699 and am thinking of asking him for free delivery. Will that be a good deal - not sure. I also like the slow fall on the fall board and trying to see if he can order one for me with that...any comments on the price or the mdoel itself vs the GB1.

With tax and delivery it cost $4500.00 (The Black was avilable for $3699.99 + Tax + Delivery). I am sure one can beat this price however you will not get Costco's service and return policy. I have both my kids ages 6 and 7 just start music. We first pruchased a electronic piano for half the price but changed our mind. The Upright Yamaha on the long haul will retain its value and can be handed down to the next genaration. Enjoy the sounds it make and some day the music.

They should have a price sheet for all their models. Even if a particular model does not appear on the floor, you can ask them. They should have a price sheet for all their models.
