Re: [disklavier] Transformation to "silent system"

2001-04-11 by Carol Beigel

There are 2 ways I have found to effectively quiet a Disklavier.  The first 
is to cut pieces of sound-insulating foam  to fit between the back posts 
against the soundboard (back of the piano), or cut pieces of styrofoam and 
cardboard egg crates to fit.

The second way is to buy the Giebler Yamaha DOM package utility software 
from www.giebler.com and copy the songs on your Yamaha diskettes to your 
hard drive, then modify the velocity (volume) as a percentage (I use 50%), 
then copy the modified songs back onto a diskette.
