Disklavier

Ernst,
Sorry to interrupt, but DKVBrowser will do what you want.  It will let you backup all of the information you add to a file, and restore it later.  Also, you can print out a full catalog of what is on your piano with song name, pianist, style, composer, or whatever you have chosen to put in the "comments" field.

If you have any questions about how to do that with DKVBrowser, please ask on the DKVBrowser group so we don't clutter this group with DKVBrowser specific questions.

Thanks.

Dear Bill
Thank you for the clarifications.  This is for general interest - as
    also my questions to it:

Having a wonderful Yamaha Disklavier DS6 B M4 PRO (since Mid 2007) I'm watching this because I suffer from a very old fashioned disk system. Every year I invite international Jazz piano players to play for good money and I use also piano-e-composition and can therefore enjoy very good "life" piano music in our home:
www.bed-breakfast-wellness.ch

My remote seems to be dead and therefore I use iPhone and iPad
      which is fine. The problem with any of those remote:
At least I can not put back (by USB-stick) what I copied, by
      having "written in" the data of composer, pianist, title, style
      etc. as I can for instance do on iTunes. I would like to show on
      paper what can be heard, all having a running number which
      corresponds with the piano content in the remote or iPhone etc.

I can imagine that there are sufficient owners who would pay quite
      a lot for changing their "computer" within the piano to be able to
      obtain a system like iTunes or so ... 
Have theses CX series or E3 PRO any advantage in this field? What
      are the advantages over DS6 B M4 PRO?

Thank you for further clarification.
Cordially,
Ernest, Switzerland

This CX series is using much of the same technology that is being used to produce Yamaha's flagship CFX Concert Grand Piano. The new CX series is a considerable improvement over earlier C series grand pianos. So, any Disklavier with an X in the model name is in one of the new CX series grand pianos.

              and E3 PRO instruments. For the last few years Yamaha
              offered the E3 in 5'8" grand pianos and smaller. These
              pianos did not have the Silent system. Now, all Disklavier
              E3 grands other than the DGB1KE3 and the DGB1KE3 Classic
              have the Silent system. The DU1E3 Upright piano does NOT
              have the Silent system.
