Disklavier

The other thing I forgot to mention, and this can be important to some, is 
the matter of the memory disks.  The MarkIIXG has one memory disk built-in.  
That means it hold the contents of one floppy disk in memory - whether you 
record the songs yourself or copy them into memory from PianoSoft disks, or 
internet downloads.  The MarkIII has 16 of these memory disks built in.
