Disklavier

I agree wholeheartedly.  My "non-technical" family members easily use 
VanBasco on the PC to call up the playlists.  I set up the MIDI 
sequences to make sure they play properly and on the correct output 
(MIDI) port, tempo, etc.  All the family needs to learn is how to turn 
on the PianoDisc and push the correct buttons to pass the MIDI signals 
(very easy).  Then they just double-click the VanBasco on the computer 
desktop and select a playlist (I have several hundred to date).  By the 
way, I created a small, empty 5 second MIDI file as a spacer between 
VanBasco tracks and included them between each performance piece - only 
because VanBasco doesn't have a "between pieces" delay.  Now all I want 
for my birthday is an inexpensive wireless MIDI transmitter/receiver so 
I don't have to string a MIDI cable from the computer to the piano  :-)
