One can throw a heavy blanket over the piano, but that's not a very good solution. 😉

I have a 2008 Mark IV Yamaha Baby Grand Disklavier.  I'm sure that you have already taken into consideration the physics of a piano.  A piano can only create sound at a its acoustical/physical minimum and no less.  Just as an unmuted trumpet or practically any other instrument.  I can reduce the sound volume to the inclusion of the mute pedal yet in terms of its capability to continue to produce sound it still fills the room to the point of making it difficult to carry a conversation over.  I have been told multiple times by desk clerks at hotel lobbys that they are at their wits-end as to how to reduce the volume of their piano and I simply laugh.  The physics won't allow it.  Again, I'm guessing that you've already taken this into consideration.

Hi, Im not the expert here (there are a few very good ones ! ) so I would guess that your piano is an E3 and I think it doesn't make a difference which file you download for E3 or for the dkc-850. I have an upright retrofitted with the dc-850 and yes in many cases the piano is too loud... So many say have the piano "voiced" (which I would eventually do) and that should help much... Otherwise I find that on the DKC-850 the lowest volume acceptable without muting is 6 ; from 7 to 10 the piano is mutes and many notes dont play. 


I'm on a mac and I use some software also to remap and change the velocity on the fly so that works pretty well also. But I kind of think that a perfect soft piano sound, where one can quietly chat beside the piano is not reachable... (Im not an expert) it is not an amplifier that you can turn up or down .


 


One other thing i find that files that are stored on the DKV (in the FromToPc section or on a usb stick) are playing better with less notes skipped in lower volume.. If anyone can comment on this I would appreciate !!!
