Disklavier

Although there are many advantages of adding a DSR1 to your system (using HD 
floppy disks, having XG ensemble sounds, both MIDI 1 and MIDI 0 capability) 
volume control will not be one of them.  Regardless of how many notches are 
printed on the "volume" control knob, the default data for velocity is still 
100.  An upright will still play softer than a grand piano because of the 
way the far left pedal (soft) works.

For dinner parties, you could do one of two things:

1) make copies of the songs you want to play, and use the software utilities 
(veloset) or Giebler, or gnmidi to adjust the data in the data in the music 
files

2) install sound-absorbing foam baffles across the back of the piano.  You 
could use foam from Markertek and use two layers.
