Bill, how does that translate to volume setting on DKV, 0-10? Do you think all MIDI files are the same as Pianosoft files, is there a standard base volume?

Yamaha PianoSoft files for Disklavier have controller 7 set to 100 at the beginning of each file. Without it, files typically play too loud on a Disklavier.

Hi Jon, I suggest waiting until you move south. Then using a hygrometer watch what your humidity does. Ideally, it should stay between 40 - 50% RH. If you see
