Disklavier

It is SO hard to keep up with all the different models!  My latest suspicion 
is that if you have headphones plugged into to the Silent feature box, the 
sound will no longer go through the speakers while the headphones are 
plugged in. It won't hurt to try this.

In some ways, this is a great advantage.  This would mean that if you were 
trying to have a dinner party conversation in the same room while your piano 
was playing, the volume could be infinitely turned down on the synthesized 
sounds coming out the speakers.
