Disklavier

At the moment, there is no upgrade kit that turns a MarkIIXG into a MarkIII. 
  The MarkIII has an audio amplifier as well as a tone generator, stereo 
speakers, a Silent Feature, and the software capability to run Piano Smart.  
Just the Silent feature alone uses different piano action parts.

Sorry about the wrong information concerning the solenoids.  I think there 
are three different kinds; the ones on the MarkII, the Pro solenoids, and 
the "bobbins" on the DGT2.  I'm not sure which ones are on the MarkIII - my 
guess is they are the same as the MarkII.  That technology is now in at 
least the 4th generation from the Pianocorder!  It all has to do with the 
nuance of performance.  Sometimes that is done with the algorythms and 
sometimes, as on the Pro, it is a combination of extra sampling as well as 
"pulse" technology.  Anyway, the solenoid thing is not really relevant when 
considering the difference between a MarkIIXG and a MarkIII.
