This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Oh. The way your post was written, it almost sounded as if you had done = a complete conversion, rather than enslaving the entire DG2 to yet = another box such as the DSR-1. In other words, there is no getting rid = of that big box, but there are a number of toys in smaller boxes that = can be added to it. If I am not mistaken, Yamaha has a CD add-on that = will work on a wagon grand. (Anybody else have experience with this? = Haven't played with one yet ....) For the record, my understanding of why the external box was necessary = in the early grand Disklaviers was to house the power supply, which was = enormous compared to what is on later Disklaviers. The problem with a = large power supply is that it puts out a lot of heat, which in turn is = quite capable of cooking the piano. The nature of the drive systems on = those early Disklaviers made such power supplies necessary. Z!

Yes this is very possible as i have a customer who just did it on = her G2 wagon grand. Your best bet for the how to's and such is Mark = Wisner. All electronics are cost prohibitive.
