Disklavier

A midi player is only as good as the sampled sounds that come in the sound 
chip.  The differences in electronic keyboard midi players can be in the 
weight and "feel" of the keyboard, the quality of the sampled sounds in the 
electronics, the quality of the amplifier and speakers, etc.

A midi file is a data file that tells a midi player what note to play, how 
long to play it, how loud to play it, when to turn it off.

A Disklavier is a midi player built into a real piano. You hear real piano 
strings playing the music and not just some electronic reproduction of a 
piano playing (unless you turn on this feature in Silent mode).  A midi file 
will sound as good as quality of player it is played on.
