Disklavier

You may want to be careful if you're considering installing baffles 
in a player.  I have a Mark IV.  This player has quite a bit of 
electronics mounted under the piano. 

Looking at the baffles on the web site, it looks like if they were 
to be installed as shown, they could cover the various electronic 
components installed under the piano, restricting airflow and 
possibly cause overheating.

Even if you were to custom modify the baffles to not cover up the 
electronics, you would still have to be careful to cut them big 
enough so there would be a good airgap between the SIDES of the 
baffles and the components as well - a lot of heat transfer occurs 
out the sides of these enclosures.

Just food for thought - If anyone has ever installed these baffles 
on a Mark IV I'd love to hear about how it went.
