Good evening, everyone.

Regarding the MTNA performances, John Q. writes:

<< Sigh.  Yet more interesting classical performances, captured in low-
res mode.  Wasn't a Disklavier "Pro" available?  Couldn't the 
recordings have been made in high-res (XP Mode)? >>

MTNA (Music Teachers Nationa Conference) has one of the largest music 
educator conventions every year. Yamaha is a major sponsor, providing a 
couple dozen pianos, Disklaviers, and Clavinovas to exhibitor booths, 
concerts rooms, and presentation rooms. The effort is very costly and a 
logistical nightmare.

Ultimately, all of the instruments come through the local dealer. Although I 
attended the convention and recorded the students, I do not know why a 
Disklavier Pro was not available. However, I can imagine any number of 
logical reaons why one was not.

As the proud owner of a DC6Pro, I, too, am a Pro enthusiast. At this time, 
however, we live in a world in which Disklavier Pro pianos are in a small 
minority and not always immediately available.
