Disklavier

You're more than welcome Tom.  I am also expecting
some software upgrades - or even upgrades to the palm
top computer that is the interface controller.  In all
it appears to be a vastly improved system vs. the Mk
III.  The volume control of the acoustic piano vs. the
Mk III is also much improved.

Bottom line: I'm really pleased with the purchase and
I suspect you will be too.
