Disklavier

Sorry but that is not correct.
PianoDisc floppies will not play on a Disklavier.
I have about 10 piano disk floppies and I know for sure they will not play  
on a Mark III.
I also have a few PianoDisc CD's and the Audio part will play but the piano  
part will not play and all you here is the midi tones. ( it sounds like a fax  
machine in the back ground.)
 
Carol please correct me if there is some program change I need to make on  my 
Disklavier in order to play PianoDisc disks.
 I also talked to Freddie at Yamaha and he said there is no way of  knowing 
what Piano disks, other then Yamaha, will play on a Disklavier.  Sometimes they 
work and sometimes they don't depending on what model Disklavier  you have,

I also agree with Alan to the fact that original Pianodisc floppies DO NOT work on the Mark 
IV disklavier system.
