Pianola Push Up Player for sale

[Don Hubbs]

I remember seeing a device, probably made by QRS, since those guys really
like to innovate, at a music store in Dallas where I used to tune. That has
probably been 12-15 years ago. 

It had the solenoids in a case which set over the keys and pushed them down,
and another box which held the CD player and other components, which set on
the floor.

Call Tom or Don at QRS in Naples, FL, 941.597.5888. If they didn't make it,
they probably know who did.

If you were in England I'd be on my way to get it.  What I'd really 
like, though, is an 88 note push-up.  Is there such a thing and are 
they occasionally seen in America?

Even better would be a push-up version of the latest electronic 
player devices and I can't understand why nobody, so far as I know, 
has produced one.  For a piano showroom it would be a real boon to be 
able to demonstrate any piano in the shop using performances by real 
professional pianists.  Does anyone know if it has been considered?
