Good  Mark, give it to them. But please, the original question was, "where can I get DD-Disks". 
On another note, can I get a service manual for the new CD-Disklavier? 

Greetings,
Hans

" The current 1.44s should format at 720k just fine. For some time, Yamaha
used high density drives with the sensor disabled so it would default to
720k. It's easy enough to try it before you despair."

Bad idea.  The density of the magnetic medium, the thickness of the disk material, and the "footprint" of the recording head are different between high and double density disks.  You can fool one into formatting to the wrong density, but it creates a VERY unreliable disk.
