Re: [disklavier] Mark IV vs Mark III

2005-12-11 by Tom Wheeler

Eric,

The nomenclature that Yamaha uses in the disklavier line can be 
confusing until you understand that:

M4 in the name means that the model is a Mark IV (latest generation 
wirelessly controlled disklavier). The first piano you have listed 
should be a DC7M4t.  The "t" stands for the fact that this model comes 
with the TRC-100 tablet wireless remote control, which I believe is 
available only on Mark IV's  for the North American market.  The A 
indicates that the disklavier comes with audio speakers. The DC7A Pro is 
a Mark III not a Mark IV disklavier. The Pro model disklaviers record 
and playback midi files with greater precision than the regular 
disklavier models and hence afford recording and playback capabilities 
that are superior to the regular line of disklaviers. Details of the 
differences between the Mark III and Mark IV models, both Pro and 
regular disklaviers, can be obtained at the Yamaha web site by careful 
reading of the specifications for each model.
