Re: [disklavier] DKC-850 Disklavier Control Unit

2013-08-07 by George Frederick Litterst

Good afternoon, everyone.

Just to be clear, in the US (and probably elsewhere), the DKC-850 supports the silent system when used as a replacement controller for earlier pianos that have a silent system.

The UK DKC850 was virtually the same as the DKC800, which is the Disklavier E3 controller. In the UK, the E3 has the 'Silent' function which was not originally available in the US. otherwise, there should be no functional difference. Just get a mains adaptor from Yamaha, if you want to use it the US.
