Disklavier

Garry,

Thank you very much for kindly responding and answering my questions.  
My Yamaha disklavier dealer called me this afternoon to tell me that he 
had a DC3M4t which arrived yesterday set up and ready for me to look 
at.  I will be getting a chance to see and play it tomorrow afternoon.

I suspect that if you are pleased with the balance between the ensemble 
(tone generated) sound volume and the volume of the acoustic piano, then 
I will be to.  Perhaps the efficiency of the speakers in the Mark IV 
disklaviers is greater than in the Mark III models.  Thanks for letting 
me know that the USB on the Mark IV is USB 2.0 since I wanted to be able 
to use an external USB 2.0 HD for additional storage should the need 
arise.  It's also nice to hear that there is no amplifier hum although I 
do not have that problem on my present DC3A either.

I suspect that Yamaha rushed the software controlling the wireless to 
get the piano to market by Christmas.  I feel confident that Yamaha will 
address quickly problems that may exist in the software via user 
installed firmware/software upgrades as they have done in the past.


Thank you again.


Tom
