Hello Todd,

It is possible to use the digital sounds in a silent system acoustic 
(most modern disklaviers) just the same as on a GranTouch. I can have key 
movement on or off and use the digital piano sound if I like with my Mark 
IIXG MPX1Z.

I agree that the digital option is great if you want piano music and the 
piano is too close to everyone during a meal as it is in my house :(

Regards,

James
