I found that other applications worked better using a third party app called Airfoil which allowed any audio player to access the airport.
Unless Siri (*whatever that is) has fixed these problems, I think you will soon get tired of trying ot use the express for playing the piano.
I now use a small form factor computer dedicated to the piano (It is also my digital audio file server for regular music as well) and use "Team Viewer" to access that computer form any other in my house (or the world for that matter). There is page on my blog about it. The article refers to playing the LX piano but it works just the same on the Disklavier:

As you can see in the video link, Yamaha consultant Craig Knudsen demonstrates a unique implementation of Apple\ufffds incredible Airplay technology in an exciting new way.
\ufffd
Here\ufffds how it works:
\ufffd
Take a standard MIDI songfile and convert it to an audio file (while maintaining the MIDI data). The songfile is then sent wirelessly via WiFi to an Apple Airport Express (which is mounted underneath a Yamaha Disklavier reproducing piano. The audio output of the Airport Express is then connected to the analog MIDI inputs of the Disklavier, using a standard audio cable.
\ufffd
Then, you simply ask Siri to play your favorite song from your iTunes library, and Siri responds immediately, by making the Disklavier\ufffds keys and pedal move up and down, recreating the performance, including full orchestration.
\ufffd
The result is nothing short of magical.
