I'm not tremendously familiar with the upright pianos, but where are you 
  placing the microphones?   Where is the piano in relationship to walls 
in the room.  It sounds like you can mike it differently to diminish the
key return noise.

Second, I assume you are playing some sequenced MIDI into the disklavier
rather than playing back something the disklavier it has itself 
recorded.  What are your note off velocities?  On most midi devicese
note off velocities are unimportant, on the Disklavier it affects
the speed in which the key releases.  I bet it's set to 127 in whatever
sequencer software you're using.
