Disklavier

With regard to the reponse that high velocity values can be damaging to the
Disklavier piano actions:  can Yamaha incorporate a 'limiter' into the next
firmware release that prevents the piano from playing (on the keyboard) a
value that is above the limit determined to be acceptable to Yamaha?  IT
should be rather straigthforward I would think, and would prevent an
unknowing owner from causing damage.

Thoughts?

The highest MIDI velocity than can be played has a value of 128. Many MIDI
files downloaded from the internet were created on an electronic keyboard,
and yes this can be very damaging to your piano. I find the best range is
between 60 and 75.
