Disklavier

$99 http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ for wireless between Mac (if a new
Mac with built-in Airport, if not, buy a card from Apple) and Mark IV (plug
RJ45, or USB, from piano to Airport Express, which is plugged into
electrical wall socket). It is 802.11g with a soon-to-be-released 802.11n.
