The first Disklavier to respond to volume data (controller 7) was the Mark 
IIXG. The wagon grand, MX100II, MX100A or B, and the MX80 series, do not 
respond to this parameter.

The native volume level for the more recent models is controller 7=100. If 
the later model instrument sees controller 7=0 for the piano part, it will 
reinterpret the volume setting to be 100.
