Disklavier

Hi everyone.

I'm a newbie here and just want to thank you for this list and introduce myself:  I'm a composer and the chair of the music department at St. Ambrose University (Davenport, Iowa) and we are the proud owners of a new Disklavier Mark IV Concert Grand Piano.  We received it just before the academic year started, and have used it for everything you would expect:  concerts, master classes, lessons, etc., including a well attended concert & workshop with George Litterst and Shania Kirk.  Its a great instrument and we're looking forward to finding ways to use it more.  One of the things I'm doing with it is recording a CD of original music using the disklavier's record function.  The plan is to pre-record on disk, and only have to call in the sound engineer for a couple hours of recording.  That CD will be done next month and I'm very excited.  If you're interested, you can check out my blog about the CD here:  http://williamcampbellmusic.blogspot.com/

Today I'm hoping to get my new iphone app to control the piano; I'm leading a composition workshop this weekend and want to show the students some of the cool things one can do with the instrument.  Plus I'm a total geek with this new phone and piano, and what could be more perfect than to get the two to communicate?  :)

Thanks for all the great info in this group, and I hope you all have a great day.
