Disklavier

I was under the impression that the minimum volume is mostly controlled by the sensitivity of the solenoids that activate the keys.  If that is the case...no software upgrade will be able to affect that...

Bill Brandon,

Yamaha has made a BIG mistake by not including a better volume control.
This is like Toyota continuing to sell cars with accelerator problems.
They could have hit it out of the park with a volume control that
offered a lower volume and an option of linear or progressive volume
reduction. This could all have been done with software. 

Additional volume control only would have almost made the price
worthwhile.

How does Yamaha get their feedback before designing an upgrade like
this?
