Yamaha’s Disklavier Grand piano can be hooked into the Disklavier Radio, an internet streaming service that can send MIDI files down the pipes of the piano storing them in the 80MB hard drive. They will even send accompaniment parts that can be heard through the piano’s speakers. If a piano playing by itself isn’t creepy enough, think about the ghosts that are up on today’s music.
