Good evening, everyone.

With the Volume Control set at "0", you will hear uniform gradations in
sound power as note velocities progress from about 20 to 95. Notes at
velocities from 95 to 127 will play with the same loudness as 95. In
other words, at DKV Volume = "0", loudness starts limiting at a velocity
of 95.

I think that the Mark III will play velocities above 95 audibly louder.

I would simply point out that when recording the loudest playing on any Disklavier, velocities above 110 are rarely achieved and for most people, the loudest passages are recorded in the 90-110 range.

It is also useful to note that a Disklavier piano recording sets controller 7=100 by default.
