Disklavier

I don't think one of those Bluetooth adapters will work.  All of the ones I can find are designed to enable a computer to hook up to a bluetooth-enabled device, not vice-versa (except for some printer adapters).  I think the bluetooth adapter would have to have some unique code that it transmitted to the computer in order for it to be paired up.

I was wondering if something like this might work instead:  http://www.midiman.net/products/en_us/MidAir.html

It looks like it is a 1-way device, designed to send Midi data from a keyboard to a computer.  I wonder if it could be hooked up the other way around, so that data could be sent from the computer to the disklavier....

Any ideas?

The cable has a little hardware attached to it (in the middle) that has 2 lights on it. The lights are lit when connected to the laptop but are off when only connected to the piano. I assume that means no power.
