Disklavier

But the MNTA web site says a Disklavier Pro was used for the  
recordings.  I too am disappointed about this misuse of the recording  
device.  This seems to be a setup issue due to the lack of knowledge of  
the people setting up the piano for recording.  The Pro models come  
defaulted to standard midi mode.  One needs to set it up properly to  
record in XP mode.  Someone needs to educate those doing the recordings.
