Disklavier

[jpiesik@arinc.com]

     Hi all,

     In MONEY magazine, February 1997, page 168, there is a really cool
     article on "How you can get a high-tech piano that's truly grand"
     (name of the article).

     Here are some snipettes:

     "...you will soon be able to plug your Disklavier into a new-model TV,
     tune to a digitally recorded concert and hear your piano play the same
     music - live from your living room - with the exact touch and emotion
     of the performer on stage."

     "Sales of Disklaviers have doubled in the U.S. during the past four
     years to an estimated $75 million last year."

     "The hybrid's sales are all the more remarkable given the depressed
     state of the industry, says Larry Fine..."

     "In 1995 just 98,000 new pianos were sold in this country, compared
     with 282,000 in 1978."

     PianoDisc, Burgett Inc., QRS Music, prices and phone numbers of the
     systems and manufacturers, and other items of interest are also
     discussed in this concise article by Paul Lim.
