I have an MX1 Mark IIXG, one year old.  Because the volume on all of the
music we have - be it PianoDisks or downloaded - is so loud, we turn it
down to its lowest setting which places the soft pedal in its lowest
position.   We play the piano in this mode for 2-3 hours/day continuously
on average.  Can this cause any damage to the piano?  I would appreciate
some input from all of you knowledgeable folks !

Duo Art piano roll emulations and she as well as the rest of us have
really been enjoying a lot of Gershwin and company !!  You've put my mind
at ease.
