Re: [disklavier] Furniture suggestions?

Kevin,

Before you deride me with your comment about using the delete button, 
how about you learn to use a space bar between Mark and IV so we can 
filter out the Mark IV posts. You are the one who started the MarkIV 
MIDI vs USB thread that got past my filter settings. So far, there have 
been 15 post to that thread.
I can't imagine the aesthetics of a Grand piano in a room with a giant 
30 inch flat panel like was suggested.

My suggestion would be to buy a tablet laptop so you can flip the screen 
and set the laptop on the piano just about anywhere.
