Disklavier

It would make no sense at all.  In a DC1, DC2, or DGH1B grand piano, the 
Mark III Disklavier is more than a MarkIIXG system without hammer sensors.  
The key sensors are calibrated differently.  The software in the ROM is 
different.  I do not believe there is any appreciable difference in 
recordings made on these pianos, than the same models with hammer sensors.  
The playback is the same.  In fact the Mark III is capable of a very large 
dynamic range both in  recording and playback.

My impression of the MarkIII is that it is newer technology to take 
advantage of the advanced sound capabilities of newer tone generators.  It 
takes XG to a higher level.  It also meets customer demand to be able to 
play live piano music off CDs as well as listen to audio at the same time. 
It can play digital audio and MIDI at the same time from a CD, and does 
Smart Key. The software design uses the newest flash ROMs so that it is 
easily updated. The solenoid technology is more modern.

The big difference, and big bucks as well, is between the regular DKVs and 
the Pro models.
